Why not both, a fast and a slow one? In Hollywood film making, the colorist uses a $40k professional mastering monitor to make sure the work is accurate, and also a $100 Walmart TV in parallel to make sure the movie will still look good in your average home and not just on the studio monitors.

Same should be in SW dev: Develop on fast HW but test on slow HW.
