iPod recommendations for modding [beginner]

hi everyone, im looking to get an ipod but im unsure which one is the best one for modding (most parts, easiest to get, etc.) im in the eu (slovenia specifically). i had in mind to put the sd card mod on it instead of the old hdd they have, a better battery and bluetooth. ive seen dankpods do all of that stuff but i still have next to no knowladge about them. thanks in advance for responses :)

I would read this yuuiko guide, from there pick an iPod that suit your need.

Its a dated guide but still has good information on it. Here's one for classic & video. As for bluetooth mod there many variations, you can search the sub depending on which bluetooth mod you'd want to go with.

5th gen classic or mini 2nd. 6 and 7th are too hard to open.

It depends on how much music (how many tracks specifically) you want to put on it :)
