Well, considering that you want an iPod because your iPad only has 16 GB, and the iPod shuffle only has 2 GB, I would recommend the iPod nano with 16 GB.
There are no rumors of an upcoming iPod refresh.

I've noticed that compressing my songs to 128kbps in iTunes means I can fit quite a few on my iPod shuffle. The quality may decrease slightly, but I did a comparison with two songs and I couldn't tell the difference with the headphones I use, and especially since my shuffle is just meant to be there as a knock-about music player, it sounds fine.
Though if you want to listen to 1000s of songs on it, the nano will be a better proposition, though at more than three times the price. You could try and get one second-hand: an update is unlikely, so it won't be getting superseded any time soon.
