I got a PCH-1000 (OLED model) recently. Pretty solid device, but you obviously wanna install HENkaku CFW on it, as soon as you get your hands on it. There's a pretty good guide on it here: https://vita.hacks.guide/
Alongside that, you should also get an SD2Vita adapter, so you aren't reliant on the expensive proprietary memory cards. Do keep in mind that this will take up the game cartridge slot and require some fiddling with YAMT to set up, but that's explained in the guide, anyways.
If you're not sure if you wanna get the PCH-1000 or PCH-2000, do consider that while the PCH-1000 has a better screen (it's OLED after all, even if it's an early one, with a couple issues that come with it), better build quality and hall-effect sticks, the PCH-2000 has better battery life, so try to weigh out what matters more to you.
When you got a CFW installed, you open the doors to not just get yourself a bunch of Vita and PSP games using PKGj and Adrenaline, but you can also natively run PS1 games, use emulators, or play literally hundreds of homebrew ports of games, stream games from your PC using Moonlight, use your Vita as a controller, use it for all sorts of multimedia, etc.
Sure, it's pretty outdated now, but I still think it's a pretty neat little device and if you can pick it up for a good price (somewhere around 100 dollars), it's worth it.
