Is there one microcontroller family that is considered the most versatile?

The reason that I ask is that my company is considering buying the Proteus VSM software, but it looks like you have to buy based on the specific family of microcontroller you are planning on using.

Initially, I'd like to limit our cost to buying only two versions, so I was wondering which two would be best to choose for the widest variety of electronic devices.

I was thinking of ordering the PIC16 complete and 8051 complete packages to start with.

Do those sound like good choices? Thank you.
 

i think that at this particuliar time .Atmel and microchip have equivalent line products
But some of them are not simulated in Proteus yet . I think you should make a list of the peripherals that you will think that you will be needing and then identify those chips in boths families that has them and then see what is avalaible in Proteus ..and go from there . I would like to see Silabs chips supported in proteus specialy the C8051F300 but they are not there .
