3 has a lot more connectors, zero is for very specific projects.

What do you actually want one for?

I mean, what do you want to do with it? Small web server, email server, some sort of automation? One of the ever popular emulator thingies?

For an emulator you need power and usb slots, zero probably isn't what you want.

Get the 3 model b for performance/features. The zero is the super lite version for specific applications and will erquire more fiddling for a common user's project.
Rpi has the most support right now for pretty much any problem you run into/use you have in mind but there's a few good alternatives out there too-have a look at the orange pi, banana pi, asus tinker or the odroid. Most of them are noticeably more powerful but don't have anywhere near the same software/community support yet so unless you're able to handle your own troubleshooting etc, stick with the rpi.

Should I buy Pimoroni Picade? I saw it for around $250. But I'm not too impressed with the size of the screen.

No, it's easy to gather the parts yourself and the novelty factor will wear off fast. I have three Pi's, including a Zero W.

Pis are for projects, make your own.
