My preference for the IoT image is that it takes up less storage, and
may be faster to get it running -- it is optimized for network connected
devices. The current LXQT image barely fits in the 4GB eMMC (others have
reported being unable to run "sudo apt update/sudo apt upgrade" due to lack
of space incurred by the amount of changes since the stock image was
created).
My approach has been to try to get a working updated Debian/u-Boot
image into the eMMC, before attempting to use anything else.
For running X-Window applications, one likely should use an 8+GB SD
card (using the partition resizer script to expand the 4GB image to use the
entire card).

Note that the IoT (with updates) is using 67% of the eMMC (and obviously
can not be flashed to an older 2GB board. Don't know if the console-only
images are much smaller).

If mine is an example, the revision is on the sticker attached to the
expansion header -- mine is, as I recall, a CircuitCo board; most boards
now come from other manufacturers. eMMC size is also an indicator -- 4GB
being standard on Rev-C.
