Any PBASIC Stamp can use an LCD if it's compatible with the HD44780 (Hitachi) specifications. This isn't usually a problem as the HD44780 is nearly an industry standard.
If instead your question was which PBASIC Stamps support the LCDOUT command, the answer to that questions is:
Any BS-2p? series which includes the BS-2p, BS-2pe, and BS-2px supports the LCDOUT command.
The LCDOUT command is NOT required for any LCD, it just makes using one quite a bit easier, if you've no problem with dedicating the necessary, fixed, pin ports for its use.
