I've used both PICs and AVRs and have no problem with using either.

Yes. However, depending on the amount of interrupts expected, I like to
keep the execution time as low as necessary. For example, if the only
interrupt I have will be the UART interrupt when using 9600 baud, my
interrupt routines can be fairly large. :)
