All the BS2 models use the same basic commands, though some have a few
additional commands the others don't. The BS2, BS2E and BS2SX all have
pretty much the same features accept that the BS2E and BS2SX have 8 program
slots and scratch pad ram for passing variables between programs. The BS2SX
additionaly runs at 50MHz instead of 20MHz like the BS2 and BS2E, giving you
extra speed. The BS2P is when you start seeing some extra features. The
BS2P is equiped with 8 program slots and scratch pad RAM similar to what the
BS2E and BS2SX have. The BS2P additionaly executes instructions faster then
the BS2SX, has commands for parallel LCDs, I2C, etc. The BS2PE is nearly
identical to the BS2P except it has a few tweaks to make it suited for data
logging, such as a slower clock and twice as big EEPROM.
The BS2 is probably the best stamp to get started with in my opinion, but if
you want a lot of features to play with the BS2P isn't a bad choice either.
Parallax also offers a range of educational kits... they're excellent for
getting use to the stamp. In the end it's up to you and what you think
you'll want to do with the stamp.
Also sending a serial signal to a PC is very easy...

...and you could use VB6 or even just hyper terminal to view the incoming
data.
