As regards gnome-pilot support, I don't believe there are many models with reported problems. The Lifedrive is certainly one exception. If you identify a model you're interested in getting, try searching this list's archives.
Many of the difficulties lie in problems on the desktop side that cause problems for almost all devices. To make sure you don't get hit by those problems, look for a model that can support bluetooth or network hotsync (bluetooth sync is supported by gnome-pilot since 2.0.16). The other main type of problem is bugs and incompleteness in the conduits. For example, the Evolution conduits don't yet support syncing of birthdays or photos in the addressbook. If you get an old palm model you won't have support for birthdays or photos in the addressbook either, but I don't know if you'd consider that 'working better' with gnome-pilot!
