Which Polaroid makes for the best or easiest pinhole conversion?

That depends on what type of pinhole camera you want to make from it.
If you will be satisfied with a "normal lens" focal length, the plastic
non-folding models such as the "Super Shooter" are VERY easy to
convert.  (Avoid the "Square Shooter" which looks the same but
for which the film has not been mase for a number of years...)
If you want an extreme wide angle, then the folding (bellows)
models are the best (100 series, 200 series, 300 series, etc.).
Excellent information on the whole range of Polaroid cameras
over the years can be found on "The Land List" (for which I
think the url is www.landlist.org but a search engine should be
able to find it by name if I remembered the url wrong.  Of
particular use to pinholers is mention of which of the folding
models had tripod mounts.)

I relize that 6 or 8 months ago I promised to give some
detailed conversion instructions here and I have not done
so.  I really will try to get that done in the next couple of weeks!
