going to start my first µC-project.
Is the ATMega a good choice?

Much depends on the nature of the project, on your background, and on
what supporting equipment and tools that you have access to.
Could you expand a little on what it is you're trying to do and what
experience you have?

I've been playing with the Arduino (ATmega 328) . Open source. The
installed base seems really good. Hundreds of projects on youtube.com
With all the source code out there, it's really easy to get started and
customize existing ideas.
My very first programming effort was to change the rate of the LED
flashing on pin 13. Instant gratification.
Within a week I was measuring temperature and turning on a vent fan.

Yes, that's the big benefit of the Arduino platform: a very high first
project success rate. It can be a real fight (but fun!) to get a new
chip up and running. Absent something like the Arduino or the older
Basic Stamp, though, it's easy for a new user who is faced with several
hundred pages of registers, bits, and oh-by-the-ways to get discouraged.
