Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
The hacking is extremely simple and easy to do, and that unlocks amazing amounts of potential for your PSP. I traded in my GBA and a bunch of its games to get cash towards my PSP and I was uneasy since I thought I might miss it. Well now I've got a GBA emulator, NES, SNES, old PS1 games that I've always loved, can even get some PSP games if you're tight on cash
Btw, if you buy a pandora battery, that's half the hacking done right there, the rest is just putting an installer on your memory stick. (I hacked my own battery and all it involves is opening it up and cutting a certain connection by running over the board lightly with a utility knife a few times; very simple).
However, if it's not something you're up for, definitely choose the Go over the 3000. The newer version is much better, and I've heard that for people just getting into the PSP (i.e. are not upgrading from an older one), the Go is definitely worth it. Lots of memory, digital downloads of games so you don't need any discs, smaller profile... They wouldn't be changing the system if there were ways to make it better. If you don't already have a PSP and a bunch of UMDs, then there's no reason to get a system with UMD support. There may not be the biggest selection of games on the store right now, but they're working on it and you'll eventually have access to anything you could want.
