If you do decide to go to 3.9, you might want to check other posts here for recommended system specs... If you're planning on getting an unexpanded A1200, you may as well stick with 3.1.
Upgrading to 3.9 is only really worth it if you have a fast CPU and a graphics card.
And as for something different to a PC, I presume you mean you're fed up with Windows? Why not try a Linux distribution? Something like Ubuntu is very easy to install/try (basically, download a free ISO file, write it to CD-R, reboot the computer). You can try this without installing anything as a large number of distributions are live CDs (e.g. you can boot from the CD without anything being written to the hard drive).
And of course, you can emulate an Amiga environment (or several) on all three main platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac)...
