I missed the beginning of the thread.  If you're wanting to prototype a
USB slave the FSUSB is a handy thing to have on hand, especially if,
like me, you're new to PICs, to designing PCBs, and to USB.  The PIC
pins are brought to headers so you could prototype some peripheral logic
with it prior to designing a PCB if you want.  If nothing else the FSUSB
schematic is handy as a reference for the USB  connections, you can
download it without getting the board.
