Hi, I would recommend PicKit3 as well, as it's new and latest version of PicKit I am not sure if it's good idea to go to previous version (PicKit2), as even you use just one uC, later you might go to new chip, which surprisely could not be supported by PicKit2... ICSP is just a way to program uC, so just add an extra 3(5) pins and wires on your breadboard and you are happy to re-program chip without removing it from your circuit every time you need to program it...
