I've used "gpasm" for assembly, and "picprog" for serial port programming, both under Linux, with excellent results.

I generally select the PIC I use in my projects based on the functions I require, and how well it is supported under the assembler and programmer indicated above.

This approach has worked extremely well for my purposes.
