The best you can afford. Especially if you want to use a lot of plugins. 16gb of ram is preferable. 8gb at least a must. Later models don’t come with a lot of storage unless you really drop some cash. But if you don’t mind working off external disks that shouldn’t be problem. I don’t know that much about processors, but for my new MBP I bought in December I went with an i5 dual core I think. It’s not the best processor out there, but I’m not that heavy on plugins or extensive video editing. No problems so far for my. Maybe others can give a better advice on picking processors. Also, check your ports. At some point they got rid of the firewire, thunderbolt port, sd slot and USB A ports. I bought quite an expensive all in one USB C hub and had to let go if my Motu firewire interface. Have to take that in considerarion is well.
Anyway, buy more power then you’re using now, make your computer future proof. It’s better to pay a little bit more now than to buy a new computer again next year because you outgrew it.
