I'm going to buy a switch probably this weekend and hopefully get a exploitable switch I haven't really been following the scene so im not to sure on what firmware I need and what model or bundle of the console is a good chance to get an exploitable console.
Your chances of finding one in store are low. Your best bet is to fine one on ebay that is confirmed 3.0.0 or get a sealed Splatoon 2 bundle.
If you're fine with waiting, every current sealed Switch is exploitable if you buy it NOW. That's only if you're comfortable with waiting a significant amount of time
Obtaining a Switch on older firmware requires purchasing a Switch that has been in stock in a store for a long period of time. This is true in all areas of the world. For this reason, populated cities and well visited stores very unlikely have any. Try rural areas or small electronics stores/supermarkets.
Review the serials in this thread and compare them with what you find on the box.

While you're there, leave the first 9 characters of your serial there and your firmware. Especially if it's above 3.0.0, doubly so if it's 5.0.0. Knowing which serials to avoid helps future buyers.
Here's a reference chart of all the data we've collected so far:

The 5.0.0 update just came out. Firmware below 5.0.0 is exploitable via soft mod. 5.0.0 will still be exploitable via hard mod. Until Nintendo pushes out a hardware revision. Like Totallnsanity said, all current stock should be 4.1.0 or below.
More details on the different firmwares:

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.

@
Veho:
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 -
