Are you a web developer? In this case you don't need to worry a lot about how powerful is your CPU but you will need a big screen. Unless you plan to work most of the time with an external monitor. I've seen a lot of Ruby on Rails developers programming with the Macbook 12" or the MBA 11". They have the editor on the laptop screen, and the browser on the external monitor.
If you are going to work with a compiled language and use an IDE, you should probably go for the better CPU you can afford. Probably, a MBP.
As for RAM memory, I would not but less than 16GB. You know... Slack...
