Welcome!
I'd say start with an Indy or Indigo2. An Indy is pretty small/light, and so much cheaper to ship. It's easier to find memory/disks for these models, generally speaking - you might be able to borrow parts from your vintage Macs or PCs in a pinch.
O2s are great little machines, but hate to be shipped. Octanes are also good, but are fairly heavy, can be more finicky (compression connectors) and the memory is less common. Might just be me, but Fuels seem to be giving people more trouble these days, and they tend to be more expensive.
Other models are nice of course, but are usually larger or older or both.

Okay, but "go" apparently weighs a lot, and takes up a fair bit of room...

How much go is required to swing with performance?
