Many of these old sets will have bad capacitors, etc. so they should be evaluated for problems and fixed before plugging in, this can eliminate damage to the set due to shorted wiring or caps. Just like with old cars, you should not just turn them on without preparing them so that no damage is done.
I guess it all depends on the style of set you like, that is what you should get...most all of them are solid enough to be worth the while in restoring them. even the old 20's sets will work well if you make a power supply for them and provide them with a speaker.
Personally I like old AM/FM or AM/shortwave radios the best as there's hardly anything good to listen to on AM only anymore.
