The endless problem of which is the best micro!
I know the answer: Its the one that has the functions you need, you have all the tools for and know how to write programs for.
I've been using both Atmel and Microchip for quite a while and they both have good and bad points. I couldn't find an Atmel 8 pin device with both a UART and 4 ADC channels, but Microchip have such a beast and that's what I needed so my latest project (Cell top BMS) is using a PIC12F1822.
