I would actually rather buy the model with 16GB of onboard flash assuming it has an empty HDD bay. That way I'm not boxing up a 160GB or 250GB HDD that I have little use for after I install a 500-1000GB replacement, or just install one of the many 2.5" HDDs I already have on hand.

You might be out of luck then. The PS3 requires a SATA drive to boot and the console has that one SATA slot for the HD. The 16GB card could be a as-cheap-as-you-can-make-it slot card. The flash memory could also be somewhere else but that would require a second SATA slot (major mainboard changes), to that the end a HD-less solution could end up costing more..
