Pi zero or 2/3/4/5 for everyday PC?

I originally had been thinking zero due to lower power consumption as I am using solar in a van which is limited.
I could probably run other types fine too but I am wondering if the increased processing power and resultant energy draw will be justified.
I am wondering what limitation might be with the zero and if they would be an issue for me at all or not.
Just want for general internet research really and watching youtube videos. Coding too here and there which would be fine with any type I got I guess.
Also I was thinking of an eink as main display but from further research it seems they don't work like that due to long refresh rates making them unusuble for that purpose is that right? I read/saw that it takes 15 seconds to refresh but that doesn't seem right since even my ereader from 2011 refreshes in a second or two when changing pages.
