Re: Compiler choice

I am an experienced programmer in C and Basic on PCs and am looking to 
program 16F84, 16F628, 16F876 and 16F877 chips.

I am new to micros and need to select a compiler that will carry me not just 
through the beginner stage but serve me into the future.

I am looking specfically at MBasic, mEL Picbasic Pro, Hitech C, and CCS C.

I do not mind paying for a compiler unless there is a better free one.
Has anyone used some/all of these compilers and can give me the pros and 
cons on them?
Which produces the tightest code?
Are there any others that anyone can recommend (sticking to Basic and C)?

Thanks
Fred
