You might also consider HI-TECH's PICC lite, which is free and a very good compiler, despite the DOS interface. There is a great book in the Robot DNA Series called Programming Robot Controllers by Myke Predko, which comes with PICC Lite, MPLAB, and explains how to program PICs covering everything from the basics, to how to use interrupts, and even how to throw in some simple assembly. I highly recommend it to all of the teams that have not worked with PICs before.

I was just looking at PIC C compilers, and found the HI-TECH compiler. The free version compiles for many of the 12, 16 and 17 series processors. I believe you have to pay for the verson which supports the 18 series, which, as vladg12 pointed out, is the only series which supports 10 MIPS.
