Yeah, tough to pick one. I just bought the same one a friend of mine had - HTC Inspire. The screen is above average for that class, so it's OK for form checking between sets, and I could pop my SIM into his to check that it would work instantly once it came in the mail (I have ATT, also).
I think the biggest choice between phones is the screen size. Smaller ones fit easier in your pocket, and will hold a charge longer with use. Bigger ones are well, bigger.
I would note that from an economic standpoint, getting into the right plan is far more important than saving a few $ on the phone itself. I'm kicking myself a bit now, since I stuck with the ATT 10c/m plan + $5/mo. for a pile of text messages. I can only use data when I have a WiFi connection. I spend $10-$15/month for the service, depending on my use, but I could have switched to pageplus and bought the same phone (but with Verizons bandwidth), and had 100M of 3G data for like $13.50/mo including taxes. But, the ATT phone can't work on PagePlus' (Verizon) network.
