I've been very successful with pogo pins for ICSP. I have run out of 
100mil pins, I am going to try
75mil next time.

I have noticed that the PIC12F and PIC16F don't bog down if the PGC or 
PGD pins drive the next
stages thru a 22K resistor. I know that is very weak drive, but it works 
fine for some low-speed tasks,
such as driving a schmitt-triggered 74HC14, etc.
