The Nano 3g, Nano 4g, and Classic are capable of outputting 480p, the Touch and iPhone can only output 480i. If you're using the device for storing large amounts of video at TV resolutions then I would recommend a Classic. A a full season of a half-hour sitcom at 848x480p will fill up 8gb pretty quickly. The Apple Component Cable should also be compatible with the Apple AV Dock which will give remote control. The two together will run you around $100.
