OT: PIC programming hardware and software information

I know there are a lot of you people who are into PIC programming and I am looking at doing so.

After reading for many hours in the Internet, I have become awash in PIC programming hardware and software.  I need someone who is knowledgeable to recommend something to me to get into this field.  Requirements are:

I would like to build it myself (DIY)
USB or RS232
No Parallel
I would like to program 18F stuff but others would be good too.
Software?

Thanks.  You can email be direct if you would like since this is a little off topic here.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind. -  John W. (Kansas)

I use the PicKit3 usb dongle for in circuit programming and some
debugging. Software is MPLab-X. The PicKit3 is about $45.00 and the
software (including C compilers) is free.

Works for me.
