I think it's a 3b+

I'm not too worried about Uber quick performance. As long as I can stream HD video.

If I was doing this I'd definitely upgrade to a 4. Anything before that is pretty slow on network and usb throughput.

I'd also be looking at powered USB drives, don't rely on the pi to power them.

I think those will be fine.

The Pi 1 was only capable of powering 100ma devices over usb but you could still find portable USB drives that could run on that, although admittedly not reliably. A pi 3b+ is absolutely fine for 500ma steady on each port, as long as you have a good enough power supply.
