A lot depends on how much you need or want in the way of a dev board or how much you have laying around the workbench that you don't need to buy again. Note that Sparkfun resells the Olimex boards; you may want to go directly to Olimex, of course.

There's this, for example: which doesn't include the AVR chip (pick your own) or in-system programmer (pick your own).

Might also consider the STK500 (available from a variety of sources),

if you are using a PC with a real serial port. Buttons, switches, RS232, sockets for all DIP AVRs, and it can be used as an in-system programmer for a chip mounted on another board. Plus it is capable of doing parallel programming of the AVRs, which could be useful if a chip's fuse settings get totally dorked (usually by a new user) and it no longer responds to the normal serial in-system protocol.

Atmel also has daughter/extender boards for the STK500 to permit working with the surface-mount ATmega64 chips and up, as well as a little CAN interface add-on, and others.

But, AFAIK, USB->serial dongles won't work; you need a real serial port.
