    I think picC would be an easier option, especially if your using a lot of delays that and it work very well with MPlab.

    Have you looked at the avr micros. You can use c with the free avr-gcc compiler and can get started with just a handful of components, even build your own programmer.

    Heres a good starter project

    or sdcc.sourceforge.net
    It already does (or will very soon have) PIC support.
    I used it this year for my 3rd year project (coding drivers for LCD and keypad on the 8052 in C) and found it grand :)

    Also, for flashing lights etc, assembly is not that daunting tbh.
