Thanks to everyone. All of this has been very helpful information.
I'll go with the ATmega16 and upgrade my thinking from avra to the gnu
toolset. I expect I'll be ordering some STK500 JTAG adapters from Ecros
Tech too. :)

I agree completely with this. I also think that the selection of JTAG is
correct because you can do everything (set fuses, program and debug) in a
"seamless" fashion (at least in AVR Studio, probably also with the right
Linux tool set). Plus, you can't brick the device by setting the clock fuses
incorrectly. The ATmega16 also has a good set of peripheral functions, but
the data sheet isn't overwhelming, as data sheets of the richer devices could
appear to students. Finally, if you need more RAM or Flash, it has a big
brother in the ATmega32.
