> Any Horde devs can comment on my question?

I will assume your question relates to syncing, since web-access to  
Horde should be failry consistent across all of these devices. To that  
extent, I can comment on ActiveSync support:

I am still using the original Motorola Droid as my day-to-day phone. I  
plan to change to the [Galaxy|Prime|Droid] Nexus when it is finally  
released. Obviously, I have no idea if there are any issues with the  
ActiveSync implementation as it relates to Horde as I have not yet  
used the new device.

The only other devices that I, personally, have used with Horde are  
various iOS devices (iPod,iPhone,iPad). A friend of mine uses the  
Droid 3(?) and has reported no problems to me.

What problems are you referring to? I use it on a daily basis and do  
not normally run into any problems.

The major drawback to the earlier, native, Droid implementations is  
that they do not support provisioning (so no enforced security  
policies and no remote-wipe ability). From what I understand this is  
now supported, though I have not tried it myself.

Of course there is always the chance that there will be some issues  
regardless of the device you pick. From my work with this, one thing  
that I have noticed is that just about every vendor does *something*  
that is not part of the published specification...and we try our best  
to work around these issues as they occur.
