Since someone just posted a thread on how to get dictionary support on the Pocket Pro, I would say that is less of an issue all of a sudden. My vote would be for a Pocket Pro given Wallcraft's opinion of the sturdiness factor and that of the available today Astak choices the PP is faster. Another thing to consider that I would not want to have to explain to a child that she cannot just have all the books she sees if she goes into the store by accident since the Nook makes that so easy to do and probably tempting. Since wifi is so available now I do not see the wifi only unit as being much different than the 3G. If the unit must be loaded by SD card or USB cable, it is simply not an issue and makes content easy for parents to monitor. Of course all the pretty color choices as originally stated by the Dad add a cool factor and give the child the involvement factor of making part of the choice.
And of course since Dad is giving the unit he will likely be providing most or all of the technical support and since he has a Pocket Pro he already knows how to use it, update firmware, etc without additional reading or effort on his part.
