I think there is a page online on the Jobo website that gives you all the tank codes, film combinations and capacities for rotary and inversion.

I use a CPE-2 and can recommend it if your volumes aren't too high (i.e. developing 5 rolls at once in the biggest tanks).
You have to factor in your choice of developer (I recommend XTOL), not all work with a rotary processor. Also, stay away from the 15xx tanks for black & white, I had loads of troubles with "road ruts" - uneven development along the length of the film when using these (for b&w, they are fine for colour, interestingly enough). Use the bigger 2xxx tanks when developing b&w. You want to get a 2521 or 2523 tank for 1 reel (1x 35 mm, 2x 120, 1x 220, 6x 4x5) and a 2551/2553 tank (5x 35 mm, 6x 120, 3x 220, 12x 4x5). The difference between the ***1 and ***3 tanks is whether they're originally for prints or not (they have/had clips inside to stop prints from flapping about, but they can both be used for film) Oh, and get a good digital thermometer to calibrate the unit, they can be quite a bit off after all these years!
