Depend what you want to use it for really. I have a DS Lite and I'm not much of a gamer, I really just bought to have something portable to play with. I also got it for the "fun" factor, it better to touch the scree and gets more interactive with the game, but that's just me. Others would prefer internet capabilities, movies and pretty good graphics. So ask yourself that first then decide. I haven't gotten any games recently either, still tryingto get all golden coins on New Super Mario Bros. it's frustrating.
