To make it simple,

1. Fat ps4.
Original design. Usually people no longer selling this.

2. Slim ps4.
Newer design. Lighter, smaller, more energy saving. Only difference is optical output is taken away. Retailers will he selling this nowadays.

3. Ps4 pro.
Optimised for 4k TV. If u don't have a 4k TV, u do not need this.

So your only option is either a slim or a pro. Get a pro if u have 4k TV, or else a slim will do.

first batch ps4 pro cuh-7000 series
second batch ps4 pro cuh-7100 series
third batch ps4 pro cuh-7200 series

* the latest batch definitely better , some improvements already been made from the previous batch

Q: Will PS4 Pro require a 4K TV?
No. PS4 Pro can display much higher resolutions than the standard PS4 when using a 4K TV. But if you own an HDTV (720p, 1080i, 1080p), PS4 Pro can still improve your gaming experience.

I think it depends on his budget. Does he need to go pro now when most games are still not taking full advantage of 4K? Also, there are tons of old PS4 games to play before he catch up and by the time he catch up, PS5 would have come out.
