Lots of available documentation and examples, and it's friendly to beginners. Once you feel comfortable building things and are no longer frying components too frequently, you might find the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 a good starting point for a mote. The chip already has TinyOS support, and with the built-in radio you avoid a degree of complexity in setting up a new TinyOS platform definition. Be forewarned that it's a fair bit of work in getting a new platform set up and working from scratch - debugging hardware is "fun", and unless you have a nice set of tools at your disposal (like a good DSO), you'll be flying dark for a lot of the time. That said, if you want a bit of a challenge and have the time for it, you'll learn a lot and probably have a whole lot of fun too :) Good luck!
