I have a 60 gig iPod video. I love it. I would consider how much space you have on a hard drive. I filled up my hard drive on my iBook in just a few weeks. Mostly "Lost" episodes. But I do enjoy it. It made me buy a external to hold most of my music library. I still use my shuffle when i go places I think I might easily loose a $400 little white box.
As far as moving files to and from an iPod. I've had issues with that. I can easily move music files to my iPod. i do have issues moving files from my iPod back to the computer. I have file sharing turned on and I manually update the iPod (if a file is not on the computer at the time it's plugged in, it deletes it from the iPod unless you manually update it). I have a friend who has a program that he swears works well that allows him to move even mp3's. But i have no experience with it. Hope that helps!
