A IIgs hooked to a composite monitor should 
appear as an accelerated //e, and it can run 
nearly all of the earlier Apple II software. 

And, later, when you want to run 16-bit stuff, 
then you can do that as well. Try it for awhile 
and see how you like it. 

Really, do you want us to make a preference 
choice for you? Try things and see for yourself.
