+1 vote for PIC18F2550 (skinny DIP 28) and PIC18F4550 (40 pin DIP) Both 
widely available and as cheap as 16F parts on eBay.

The PIC18F4550 works on 16F 40 pin prototype boards (add 220nF  cap  and 
connector  OPTIONALLY  to add  USB)
and the PIC18F2550 works on  16F 28  pin  prototype boards

(same pinouts mostly, a few HW functions such as  I2C may be different pin)

I'd recommend changing from SDCC though if it doesn't do the WDT fuses 
properly. There are other C compilers, Pascal, Forth and JAL.
I've used C, Forth and Pascal over the years (since 1980s) but I 
recommend the JAL. http://code.google.com/p/jallib/

Or use programmer + software that lets you clear the WDT "fuse".
