Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or even Nexus One.

The Nexus line has and continues to have great developer support outside of Google. They're great for what you want to do.

Go with a Nexus device. Either a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus. Since the goal is to learn about Android, those are your best bets. Having a Nexus device gives you the ability to compile the Android code yourself and flash it to your phone.
