You don't have that much of a choice, if you want to buy a new player .
It is the Touch .

Neither SB3 or duet (receiver+controller) is manufactured anymore may
still exist on some sites.
Touch is also showing up at discount prices here and there, so you can
grab one for the same kind of money as an SB3 was back in the day.

Or buy used then another SB3 would be the first choice, reciever is
hampered by not having any UI on the player at all, so setup and
maintenance would be unnecessary complicated and the controller is
needed for setup officially.

But I'll go with Touch anyway , it supports more formats natively on
the player including 24/96 and AAC ,many radio stations are shifting to
AAC streaming and native spotify support . And any future app or format
will not be developed for the old kind of player. It also sounds better
.
The SB2/3/reciever tech is a bit old nowadays.

I do think the SB3 is more stylish and a design statement so I'll keep
mine in the closet
