Best platform for Rockbox?
LambdaCalculus:
Yes, that's correct.
Of all of the platforms with color screens, it seems that the iPods are the only ones you can still see with the backlight off.
The greyscale targets are perfectly viewable with or without the backlight.

This works on all SWCODEC players, i.e. all players except the archos line (which uses a special chip for decoding the audio).

mplayer can play flv, so I assume mencoder can convert those too.

The gigabeat is unreadable even under intense direct light. I actually don't know why we don't just power down the LCD altogether like on the Sansa.
LambdaCalculus:
But getting back to the original poster's question... might I suggest the iriver H300 series, perhaps? They offer nearly every feature in the book: color LCD, games, video, recording, FM radio, software decoding, easy expansion, and cross-platform support.
You also can't go wrong with the iAUDIO X5, although they're quite hard to come by, now that Cowon has discontinued them. (And on that note, I'd love to get my hands on the X5 for myself as well, and eBay's no help.)
nls:
the iriver h300 and iaudio x5 are not very good for video though, the iriver has 220x176 display but only manages ~10fps the x5 display is smaller so it gets a few more fps but the display isn't very good.
