Relokick made almost all of them work though, and I think Relokick plus extra memory eliminated just about all problems. A lot of originals won't work on the A1200 whatever you do, though most have WHDLoad versions nowadays you'll still get a lot more joy with boxed originals on a Plus or 600 than on a 1200. There'll still be really early stuff that only works on 1.2 or earlier though.
On a wider basis it definitely depends what you want to, what you had back-in-the-day and how vital it is to use original disks and original upgrades - and how much you can justify paying. An A1200 is probably the most versatile system, but they cost a lot more than a standard A500, which (provided you have 1Mb or more) can run most things, and an A500 can be accelerated and can take hard drives, either old or new solutions. I disliked the A600 at the time, partly because it's limited by the missing keypad, but at least it's compact and kinda stylish.
