Hi,
AVR microcontrollers are newer family of microcontrollers introduced by ATMEL, their advantages over traditional MCS51 family are : more speed, more internal SRAM, internal E2PROM, ISP capability, more peripherals like multiplexed ADCs, analog comparator, PWM , RTC and so on. But I prefer MCS51 family because they are very easy to develope and powerful IDE tools like Keil uVision support this family.
