The 68HC11 is a good choice though somewhat optimized for the auto
industry. One of my favorites is the 8031 (8x51 family). Last batch I
bought costed $1.35 each (quanity one), they have good I/O capability
(serial included), addressable to 64K (greater w/bank switching), some
internal RAM, etc. 
Plenty of Freeware available also, and many eprom programmers can
blast the 8751 eprom versions, EEprom versions, and WORM versions.
