"The developers of Replicant, a pure Free-Software version of Android, claim to have discovered a security flaw in certain Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets . One so serious that it could potentially grant an attacker remote access to the device's file system.
The flaw lies in the software that enables communication between the Android OS and the device's radio modem, according to the Replicant project's Paul Kocialkowski. More information can be found at replicant's website."

... although there are 2 Nexus devices on Repliocant's list [replicant.us]. The "Nexus S" and its successor the "Galaxy Nexus", both produced jointly by Samsung and Google.
Don't forget the non-removable batteries on recent models.
Still, I agree that Nexus devices [wikipedia.org] are a relatively good bet. If I wanted a tablet device I might well end up with a Nexus.
For a phone though, I'm aware of some potentially better options, including:
