New to Rockbox - How to choose hardware?

[berlinpose2]

I've checked out the hardware options. Aside from availability, it's quite confusing choosing between them.

What criteria can you decide by? Are there some that are simply better than others?

Thank you

Most of the hardware is unavailable new. I check that the reviews state good sound quality, as that is the most important thing for me. I had good luck with a Sansa Clip+ that unfortunately died a couple of weeks ago. I'm now experimenting with a Benjie T6 (Agptek Rocker). Another obvious consideration is how much storage space you need both Clip+ and T6 have micro SD slots that allow for easy upgrade of space. However, there are limitations on class and max size the SD cards can be.
