Plenty of pointers, the next stage is to look at the specification
(resolution of A/D etc., no. of channels etc.) and choose your device from
there.

Of course you need to choose your preferred programming language to.

The PIC is backed up with endless compilers (BASIC, C, PASCAL etc. etc. and
varieties of each) - lots of code examples readily available including PID
control.

www.melabs.com for a good (and low cost) PIC BASIC compiler (PicBASIC Pro).

http://www.ccsinfo.com/picc.shtml for a fab (and also low cost) PIC C
Compiler (PCW - windows environment).

a PIC16F877 will give you lots of memory, 5 A/D inputs, 2 PWM outputs
  (Hardware), and 2 PWM inputs (Hardware), if you got to make lots, you will
have to optimize down to a smaller chip like 16F872 or so, which is no
problem
with the software written.
The stepper motor you can drive directly using some transistors, or some 
L297/298
if you need more performance or power.
