Touch will use the battery faster. Touchscreens are notorious power hogs.
That said, I have a Nano 4th gen and I don't like the new 5th gen. (the screen is too big, wheel too small for my taste)
So if I were going to buy a new iPod it would be a touch. Besides, you can get internet on the Touch. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 1520 (Laptop)/ Home (Desktop) OS Windows 7 x64 / Same CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 / Intel Core i7 930 Motherboard Intel 945 / Asus P6X58D-E Memory 4GB / 6GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS / ASUS 1GB Sound Card Whatever Dell gave me :-( / Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 15.4" LCD / Crappy CRT Mouse Microsoft Presenter (Bluetooth) PSU N/A / OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Case N/A / Antec 900 Cooling Air Hard Drives Seagate 500GB SATA; 7200 RPM / Seagate 1TB SATA; 7200 RPM |

ZuneHD!
Seriously though, if I had to choose, I would go with the nano, if you have a big music collection. If not, then I would go for the 8GB 3rd Gen. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Model #: BRMD10926 OS Windows 8 Pro x64 with WMC CPU AMD FX-4130 Quad 3.8Ghz Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0 Memory 8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit Sound Card On Board Realtek HD Monitor(s) Displays HP w185e Screen Resolution 1366x768 Keyboard HP Keyboard Mouse Onn optical mouse PSU 500W Case XION XON-180 Cooling Stock Hard Drives WD Raptor 7200 1TB Internet Speed 10Mbps DSL Other Info HP Pavilion p2-1033wb: Win7 Home Premium x64, AMD E-300 APU 1.3 Ghz dual core, 3GB DDR3, 500GB Hitachi HDD |

That said, I think they should have stopped building the 8GB Touch instead of the 16 GB one......but that's me. In fact, I wouldn't buy the 8GB Touch at all....I would either choose something completely different(most likely) or save up the additional $100 to get the 32GB Touch.

I own a 2nd gen iPod touch, and I find that iPod touches lose battery power very quickly when surfing the web and playing games. That might be a problem if you plan to buy a touch.
The two iPods have different features, so you have to choose carefully. If you want the do-everything iPod, then get the touch, but if you like light weight, and small size, then get the nano. I find the nano pretty good actually, because it also has a small collection of simple games, and it has a video camera and radio tuner.
Here is my advice: if you want a do-everything iPod, then get an iPhone, because it gives you a few extra convenient features. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq CQ40-508AU OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86, Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 CPU AMD Athlon x2 QL-65 Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3200 256MB Hard Drives 250GB SATA 5400 RPM |

Oh, and by the way, if all you do is listen to music, then the iPod touch's battery life is more than enough. But if you play games, then three hours straight is all it takes to drain the battery. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq CQ40-508AU OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86, Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 CPU AMD Athlon x2 QL-65 Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3200 256MB Hard Drives 250GB SATA 5400 RPM |
