learning to program uC32 which is PIC32 based Arduino compatible development board

Hi,

I have an experience programming PIC18 in C using CCS Compiler. I wanted to learn how to program uC32 Arduino compatible PIC32 based development board. I can use either MPLAB IDE or MPIDE as compiler for uC32. I have no experience at all with either of these IDE's. Could you please guide me about which one would be a good choice? Thank you.
