another vote for the arduino (lol).
I less than 2 weeks I got a full digital volume control, PGA chip driver (thanks error401!), sony IR remote receiver logic, a wireless X10 power interface, a rotary encoder/arrow keys, and even some other nice software features done. I never used controllers before other than a short stint with a basic stamp.
I never did any PIC work and went right to the atmel/arduino stuff.
for a first timer, maybe check out the 'lady ada' stuff (that's where I got mine). the usb boarduino is small, cheap and has .1 pin spacing and 'sane' pin numbers for prototyping.
