This does come up quite often. I ask myself "If I could have just one of our phones, which would I choose?"
The answer is a tough one. If I wanted to develop apps that would run well on all (or nearly all) Android devices, I would pick a Dream dev phone because it's the first, and later phones are mostly equal or great in capacity (except, of course, HTC's new QVGA device). On the other hand, if I wanted a phone to last for a year or two, I'd pick the Droid because it has the larger screen (854x480), a proximity sensor, and already has Android 2.0. Consequently, all HTC phones can be purchased directly from their site, and Motorola is now selling the Droid and Cliq directly from their website as well. In the end I think I'd pick the Droid, but my decision is [admittedly] based on the assumption that it's harder to test on a platform I don't have (screen size, processor, sensors, 2.0) than to test on something more limited than what I have (which I might achieve in the simulator). Good luck!
