[Slightly OT] iPod, Flac and Music Manager

I have all my music CD's ripped to NAS storage as FLAC and this all
works beautifully with Squeezecenter 7.0 and my Squeezebox 3.

However, some times I would like to listen to the same music on a
portable device. Currently I have an original 2GB Nano but I am
thinking of getting a new device.

1. Should I get a new iPod? If so which one, Touch, Classic?

2. Should I get a non-iPod device (Zune Gen 2, Archos, Zen, Cowon,
etc); I assume I will still need to transcode from FLAC to Mp3?

3. Which Music Manager is "best" for ease of use, MediaMonkey,
Sveta
from dbPowerAmp. etc?

I don't really want to rip to FLAC and MP3 and maintain two copies.
