Aim for a desktop-style (“Pro”) model over the twin-towers machines; battery leakage is less dramatic when it happens (and it has happened) and most of the parts (e.g. floppy drives) are easier to service. I have a twin-tower ACE that is slowly being rewired by hand to bypass all the corroded traces on the I/O board.
