You write that you are "just starting with AVRs".  What development hardware do you have?  Many people start with the AVR Dragon, which has on-chip debug capability as well as device programming.  If you are going in this direction, you might be interested in my product the Dragon Rider 500, which adapts the Dragon into a flexible development system.  My excuse for mentioning this is that one of the Add-On Parts Kits is a 16 character by 2 line LCD, just what you're looking for.  It is not as cheap as getting just an LCD from eBay, but it is complete with connectors, mounting hardware, etc., and, of course, you can put it right on the Dragon Rider.  If your budget is really tight, this won't be for you, but here's a link anyway:

The links in the side-bar on the left will take you to the Add-On Parts Kits, including the LCD.
