No experience with playing PSP on a computer, but the official emulator/compatibility layer on PS3 does a passable job, and Vita/PSTV have perfect virtualization
There are no truly bad models, but the key features of different models are:
1000 and early 2000 series - unbrickable
1000 - infrared port
Anything except 1000 = 64MB ram (used by a few plugins and homebrews, mainly emulators)
2000, 3000, N1000 = Go - video out
Anything except Go - affordable storage via microSD converters, standard miniUSB data port and commonly available charger
Go - folding and compact, Bluetooth (with video out and a PS3 controller it makes a fine portable PS1)
1000, 2000, 3000 - easily replaceable battery (not like there still are any excellent ones on the market), brightness and mute physical buttons (convenient for homebrew plugins)
3000 and E1000 = Street - brightest screen
anything except Street - stereo sound, autobooting CFW
very strongly debated - best screen
none - good range or WPA2-compatible wifi
My choice is an early 2000, but any model will do its job -- playing media and games
PPSSPP is the best emulator on PC and also for android phones. Nearly 100% compatibility. I've never have any problem with it.
PSP is really cheap nowadays, but I would rather suggest a vita for both psp and vita homebrews.

I HIGHLY suggest you get a PSP since PPSSPP (PSP emulator for PC) is VERY buggy and will even crash on some amazing games (eg: can't even get 10 seconds in any of the Project DIVA games). I advise you to get the 3004 as it has the best compatibility with homebrews and better screen at the mere cost that you need to manually launch CFW (only takes 3 seconds so it's no biggie).

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
