They're all good. The models prior to Raspberry Pi 4 are using cores that don't have any of those security flaws. The Pi 4 uses a newer core that would be vulnerable to Spectre variants 1, 2, 3a and 4, but the Raspbian Linux kernel has been built with Spectre mitigations, so there are currently no known working exploits.
Since the Raspberry Pi's are so cheap, everybody should be doing their web browsing them to improve security. If you don't want to give up your speedy and power hungry x86 desktop, you could
Quoting: "A Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer designed for makers and all sorts of Internet-of-Things types of projects. Make magazine has an article [makezine.com] about securing it. Reading it, I am struck by how much work it is to secure. I fear that this is beyond the capabilities of most tinkerers, and the result will be even more insecure IoT devices."
