Depends what your development strategy is, but the Nexus S is the most powerful phone running Android out there, running a version of Android that no other consumer phone is running.
It is so bleeding edge it is barely even a "consumer" edition phone. Therefore, I don't really see it as a good candidate for building + testing apps on if you want something reflective of your target user.
From personal experience, Android phones are never that much of a "long-term" investment. Your phone will be pretty common place within 2-3 months, and will be far exceeded by better phones in around six months :)
