I have an original PSP (the 1000 model, or the Fat one) and I actually find it to be rather comfortable after some use. My only real problem with it is that I can't seem to press in two directions at once on the directional pad (which really isn't much of a issue) and my analog stick thing used to go a little wacky at times, but that's probably because I used to leave it in my one of pants pockets for a while and it hasn't done that anymore since I don't do that anymore. Sure, 1000 is a little bulkier and heavier, but it really isn't that much of a difference from my experience. It's not like you're carrying a hardcover dictionary compared to a softcover novel, or if you prefer a brick and block of clay.

My bro has a 2000, or Slim model. I don't use his since we got ours at around the same time (and if you're curious, it was for Final Fantasy Tactics and eventually Disgaea) which is okay too from my experience.

Really, as long as you're avoiding Go!, they're all really the same in terms of function, use, and even appearance; and only really differ in certain design aspects. Go!'s a completely different case though and is an all DLC based console (which, in my honest opinion, is probably the stupidest thing Sony's ever did and they probably will be shooting themselves in the foot because of that. But that's just my opinion).

On the other hand, the PSP 2000 doesn't have the scan line issue, but is more expensive.

...wait, what? The Slim (2000) is cheaper then 3000, according to GameStop...? Well, it's a refurbished 2000, so that may be why. But still, the 2000 is cheaper then 3000, and 1000 is the cheapest of all (refurbished 1000 (Fat) is $99.99, refurbished 2000 (Slim) is $119.99, and the 3000 is $129.99). All refurbished means is that they may have worked on it to make sure it works properly and such, but should work perfectly fine (think of it as "used" consoles).
