If he's on 11.0 i am...

you're getting "brand new", yes? then it won't be 11.0. if you're buying from someone else it's used unless they have never opened the box ever.

Yeah, brand new, not from ebay or something. Bol.com is an official store so i guess and hope its a brand new one.
Is the included 4GB SDHC enough for softmodding or do you need like 16GB?

you should get a larger one. 16gb might be fine if you don't install a lot of games. I would recommend 32gb or larger though.

Whats the recommended size? 32GB, 64GB, 128GB?

32gb or 64gb, depends how many games you'd want to install/download. if you're not sure, it doesn't hurt to go 64gb.

Does it need to be an SDHC or may it also be an MicroSD with an adapter?

New3DS only takes microsd cards. SD/SDHC/SDXC doesn't really matter.

I'm not sure about the quality of Kingston microsd cards, but it should be fine.

Are the writespeed and read speed really important? Like they really need to be higher then 30 mb/s

the 3DS doesn't really benefit from anything past class 4, however they might be important when copying files to and from your computer.

How many games can fit on 32GB, and how many can fit on 64GB? Like i want to have Pokemon Y, X, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Bros 2.

it depends on the size of the games. 3ds games are 512mb-4gb big, the average is 2gb. Remember to format your sd to fat32 if you buy a 64gb card. This isn't possible with that Windows formatter, you need a linux or a program like this one: http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
I used it by myself when I formatted my 64gb card to use it with my n3ds.

Thanks, but is it the best to buy an N3DS or N3DS XL? Are there any major differences?

I hav a small 3ds. The only big reason is the screen size. At a electronic market i tested the n3ds xl and it's way to big for me. Thats why i bought a small n3ds.

Yeah i had the DSi XL before, but after playing some time i was getting cramp in my hands. So better take the small one then?
Did you also bought 32GB or 64GB SD-card?
