This could matter if you are testing applications with breakpoints.
You need to be able to test the application contents at all
breakpoints (or at least the two most important ones). Your device's
screen size can play into this.
The most important thing is the version of iOS you are testing with.
I'd test with current, or current - 1 version of iOS. Upgrading is
free and users get periodic reminders to upgrade.

I have noticed one or two minor quirks in how different hardware
devices treat apps, even when they are running the same version of
iOS, but I can't name an eact problem right off the top of my head, so
I don't think it is super important.

I'd go with the iPhone 8 personally. *grin*
