i guess it depends on where you live, but i use it at home, work, school, friends homes, shopping centers and about a half dozen coffee shops in between
I'd get the 32GB Touch. But I'd also wait until the software is updated to avoid the $10 upgrade charge.
Sense Apple is GIVING it to you...
... get the Touch. Nano's are cheaper so you can always come back later for one of those if the Touch just isn't working for you.

keep in mind that may not work
in the past, apple has excluded the offer for new versions of ipods
but what do i know?
Where I am is littered in free wifi(Austin, Tx). I'm getting the touch for resale, but I'd rather have the nano for personal use since i have an iphone already
I'd be inclined to get the Touch since you're getting it free from Apple, but if you're planning to use it for running the nano is more useful IMO. I have a Touch and a 3g nano and I find the Touch kind of big to use at the gym/while running. I've actually been using my nano much more since (for me) it's comfier to use with an armband and easier for me to change the song/volume while running. Also, you can use the Nike+ Ipod kit if you're interested in that. 
I want the nano, but voted for the touch. My plan is to get the free touch, and immediately post it on craigslist. Then I'll use the proceeds to buy a refurbished nano, and pocket a few bucks along the way. Or I might not get the nano at all, and use the sale of the touch as a discount off a macbook.
Seems pretty simple - the touch has a lot more functionality. If you're worried about jogging as well, pick up a refurb ipod shuffle from apple for $39, and jog away. In the mean time, you have a fantasic ipod with a *lot* of extra functionality that you can use all of those other times.
And honestly, I'm not planning on waiting for the $10 apps to be included - I'd rather start using the touch now, and $10 is, well, $10. I'm sure I could find a way to save $10 in the next few weeks (or even the time it would take to write a rant about having to pay $10 for the upgrade), but again, it's more worth it to me to have access to the touch *now*.
Just my opinion, of course.
