Anyway, I've heard that 16gb ones will hold their resale value the most, not sure why, apologies if I'm just being dumb here but could someone explain if that's the case, thanks.
My opinion is...either the 32gig WiFi or the 32gig version with WiFi+3G.
Definitely not the 16gig WiFi version because it's the bottom of the line (least storage & no 3G)...and not the top-end 64gig WiFi or 64gig with WiFi+3G...it's just the most expensive...and will depreciate the quickest.
I mostly base this on my gut feeling, the prices I see on Craig's List, and the refurbished model prices I see at the Apple Store.

p.s. FYI...for the iPad 1 16gig with WiFi...originally sold for $499...when it was at the Apple retail store (refurbished)...it was $349...about a 30% decrease in price.
Here's the iPad 1 64gig WiFi+3G for $499 (31% off original price):
Refurbished iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G 64GB - Black - AT&T (first generation) - Apple Store (U.S.)
Both of these models are about 30% off their original price...thus there's the question...is someone more concerned about the % depreciation loss or the "real dollars" loss?
Both are about 30% off...but:
- with the iPad 1 16gig Wifi...price decreased by about $150 bucks...with a residual value of about $350.
- with the iPad 1 64gig WiFi+3G...price decreased by $230 bucks...with a residual value of $499.
Just depends how you look at it.
