Go with an intel imac--get the version with the biggest screen you can afford. Give it as much ram as you can afford, and you will be very happy.
I have a 1st gen 20" imac, and it's the best computer I've ever owned. I have 2 gb RAM and the 256 MB VRAM, and it's great. My boss just got a 24" imac, and that thing is a real work of art. These computers are such a great value for the price, and you can't really go wrong with any of the models.
All that being said, I wouldn't go any smaller than the 20", and also highly recommend hooking up a second monitor with the $20 apple adapter. I have a crappy 15" LCD hooked up as my second monitor, and it's so handy.
good luck, and please ask if you have any questions.
