If you're just planning on streaming and a regular user (the older cellphone suggests that) 2GB should more than enough.

The moto G has far better specs (processor 8 core 2.0 vs 4 core 1.4, 12MP camera vs 8MP) and will last longer for future OS updates. If you run out of space just add a microSD card, better for saving pics/videos anyway.

You can get by with the moto-E if you really want, but I'd say an SD card from the start would be advisable.
I just recently had to replace my suddenly dead LG G3, and I needed a phone in hand right away, so I got the unlocked Moto G 5 Plus at the nearest Best Buy. I wound up going for the 64GB version primarily because of the extra RAM (and because the guy knocked a few bucks off) but with my 32GB SD card moved from the LG, the 32 would have been plenty for my storage needs.
But I think for some degree of future proofing, the 64GB is definitely worth what Amazon is asking today.
I wonder how intrusive the ads are on the Prime exclusive models?
I hope pretty intrusive so I don't feel too bad about paying so much more for the regular one.
