I've found the F683/F688 to be a nice
8/14 pin combination for many low 
cost,
low pin (but still using capable chips) projects.

They are also 
from the same generation
with similar internal features (apart from the
diff pin counts), so it's easy to move from one
to the other...

And 
the F88 isn't that different if you need
the additional peripherials...

For low cost and *large volume* there
might be better chips, but I'm 
talking
about the hobbyist market here.

FWIW...

Regards,

Jan-Erik.
