Depends on your intended use.

The nano stores on memory chips, which is more sturdy for running and exercising. But you might not be able to fit all your music on it.

The bigger video models store everything on a hard drive but dont go running with one as the jiggling around can cause the read/write head to skip and at a worst case hit the drive's platter possibly causing damage.

You need to have the upgraded radio on all years before 08 to have control of the iPod on the HU. otherwise you will have to use the iPod's controls.
