You will not get flamed for electronics questions, as just about every 
digital engineer knows, Analog is becoming a BIG part of our jobs as 
clock speed increases.

LM358 is rail-rail and very cheap. 
LM6462 is a bit more expensive but very low power.

 Texas TLC2272 or TLC2274 are good options.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that I would get flamed here.  I was speaking
about finding another list for non-AVR questions that is as helpful as this
list.  I have seen nothing but helpful folks here.

Thanks to all for your responses, I'm off to check the resources, data sheets,
etc. suggested ...

Cheers,

Digital is just a special case of analog anyway.

If digital doesn't look like analog, you aren't looking at it fast enough...
