Depends on your needs:
- PowerMac G5, if power is nedeed (1.6GHz up to 2.3GHz aircooled, up to 2.7GHz liquid cooled) = quickest machines for MOS and in my opinion the best choice (but it's stationary)
- PowerBook G4 1.67GHz if mobility is needed
- Mini G4 (silent upgrade 1.5GHz, 64MB VRam), if there is not enough space on the desk.....

I have one of each of the above, all running MorphOS and love them all for different reasons.
The PowerMac G5 for its power, meaning with Wayfarer I can do day to day web browsing and watch Youtube at 720p easily.
The PowerBook G4, so I don't need to be sat at my desk to play around with MorphOS.
The Mini G4 Silent Upgrade, because it is so easy to set up MorphOS for and it can handle most stuff you chuck at it, even 720p YouTube until the fan kicks and you can't hear anything!
For all three machines, the MorphOS licences cost me more than they each cost me and the G5 was even free (although I had to buy a ATI graphics card, network card and I also gave it a SSD upgrade).
