if you are going to go for a 28 or 40 pin pic i think the PIC18 series (the PIC18F2620 and PIC18F4620 being the best choices from that series for the hobbyist imp) is a better bet, its a much nicer architecture and there is an only slighly crippled version of microchips C compiler for it availible free.
