I see the PPC as a great coaching tool and would like to use PGN files to help out.

My own very subjective feeling is that having Fritz 8 and Pocket Fritz 2.0 is a good idea. The interfaces are similar even with PlayChess.com. I also subjectively like the awesome reputation "Fritz" has in the entire chess community. Before you settle on Fritz 8, be sure to check out the latest version of Shredder (also to be found on ChessBase.com). The two engines fight for the no 1 spot right now.
Regarding PGN files. Check out:

Two awesome sites!
