The 27" iMac is probably Apples most-bang-for-the-buck computer at the moment, by a large margin.
It has desktop-class components (cpu, hdd, graphics) and a great screen (IPS panel). Upgrading RAM later is not a problem but upgrading the hard-drive is. The other thing is the glossy screen of course.
I'd say iMac or MacBook Pro. If you don't need a mobile workstation, the iMac is the much better option, though.
The current Mini is massively overpriced, sadly.
If you're considering a small notebook, I'd suggest going for the 13" MacBook Pro (the base model should do fine) over the white MacBook because of the better screen and overall higher quality.
