Hi, I suggest if you want start programming project, it depends on resources on your college/uni/place.
If some of your friends or your lecturer use PIC, then you also do PIC, because it's faster for you to learn.
If your friends use Atmel or Arduino or any microcontroller/microprocessor, then follow them to use.
I said this because, all microcontroller have their strength and weakness, also different microcontroller can achieve same goal or project.
