I used SPASM, an 8051-like assembler for PIC's, but when I looked at the 
code generated and the redundancy in some cases, I stuck with Microchip 
MPASM assembler to write programs. Mine always came out quite a bit 
shorter.

I haven't tried any program that uses 8051-like assembler for the AVR's as 
I've just gotten started with the AVR's. There may be something out there 
that will convert 8051-like code to AVR code.  

I've figured if you're going to use assembler, you might as well use the 
language the manufacturer recommends for the device.
