As a tech junkie, I love the datasheets for the AVR uCs.  I save them 
local as reference works, and use them all the time.  I think the PIC is 
verbosely documented as well.

As someone else noted, I prefer the AVR architecture to the PIC, but 
some people swear by the PIC line.  THey do offer a mutlitude of 
different options
