I think that the best pi for headless developing is the zero:

  • Good WiFi connection
  • Also has USB gadget-mode for local development
  • Low power requirements
  • 512mb RAM (and it's enough)

The only cons is the CPU, not for the single core but for the arm version that is not enough for some usage e.g. code-server/ssh with VS Code

I really hope to see a RPi 4A with the latest cpu and at least 4GB of RAM and USB-C with gadget-mode support

It's a really close one I agree that the zero is probably even better but I don't know much of the zero so I may have to pick one up, they look really cool!
