We are starting a new project based a microchip PIC18F252. What is the best 'c' compiler to use?

The HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs has essentially been replaced by the MPLAB XC8 compiler, which supports all the 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. You can download the latest MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler for free.
Compiler is a program that transforms higher language source code(such as c code) to the lower language code(assembly language/machine code/binary code/object code). This object code can be ported on any target such as microcontroller/processor.
1) MPLAB C18 Compiler MPLAB is an official software developed by Microchip for PIC Microcontroller. It is free to use and you can download it from official site of Microchip.
MikroC Pro is an Embedded-C compiler that allows you to convert a code written in C language to machine language. MikroC Pro for Pic is used for pic microcontroller programming in c.
I currently use CCS and hate it. It is so non-standard and so much of a subset of C, that it just sucks. I'm considering switching shortly. I'm going to try Microchip C18 compiler first and then I'll swallow hard and get HighTech which seems pretty solid from reviewing the trial version and samples.
