Since my vita can't emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?

If you actually want to play DS games then you should get an actual DS and not a 3DS/2DS.

The 3/2DS screens are a higher resolution so ds games are stretched to fill them, making them look blurry. You can hold down a button combination to stop that from happening but then the image will be small.

A DSi LL is a fantastic DS experience and it's hackable so you can just load up games of an sd card
