So why Google made a 5.9-inch Nexus X? A very well written article with cold facts.
Google is making a 5.9-inch Nexus X because your opinion doesn't matter

tl;dr: Because your opinion doesn't matter. Nexus line of phones serve as a reference point for developers not really for average joe. And its popularity amass general consumers is just because of its subsidized cost. So you can just say, the reference design Google choose this year for its Nexus wasn't a popular choice for me and you, though a large part of population does demand a high form factor.

^ exactly nexus is not a consumer device. This is the only nexus which sports the high end device as the other flagship devices, so the price

Course our opinion doesn't matter, as of now. Google is a corporate company right? All they care about is money, just like any corporate. When they will see the sales number of Nexus 6, and that it has gone half in comparison with Nexus 5, then our opinions will matter to them, pretty strongly.

Considering the Google-Motorola Nexus 6 carries a hefty price tag, which phone from the Nexus' line is suggestible, the Google-LG Nexus 4, or the Google-LG Nexus 5?

It is available on FK. At around the same price as N5. So yeah, N5 of course is left to suggest. Unless of course, Moto X 2nd gen. Which is more fun.

Word of caution:

The lesson here is that consumers should stick to buying products with unlockable bootloaders if they care about rooting. As SELinux, Knox, and Android itself continue to close up the holes that hackers might use to violate our devices, they are also making it increasingly difficult to root. Ultimately, we want the best security possible, but some people find that there are still certain things that can't be done within the confines of an unrooted device. Now that it may only be possible to root by modifying the kernel, it seems that unlocking a device will be a requirement going forward.

Security in lollipop is increasing to avoid hackers so beware before buying. Suggesters have this in mind before suggesting

Mods, [MENTION=88006]sam[/MENTION] should add "Planning to root?" questionnaire in this thread

So that also means that if you have to root you must do it before you update the lollipop!

# Multi User Support in phones
# Prioritize the notification or block them if not needed
# When Battery saver is ON, Status Bar and Navigation Bar [if available] lites up with dark orange color
# Pin a app to lock it if you want others not to use other apps.
# Sharing Menu prioritize depends on app used for sharing frequently
# New Recents App list/cards
# Recent App list remains after reboot
# Ambient display mode, will allow the phone to light up the display when notifications arrive also it will wake the screen when you pick up the device [Not available in Nexus 5 so far]

Most excited for: (comments in bold)
# Battery Percentage is added
# Multi User Support in phones
# Prioritize the notification or block them if not needed
# Sharing Menu prioritize depends on app used for sharing frequently
# Recent App list remains after reboot (Very useful)
# Ambient display mode, will allow the phone to light up the display when notifications arrive also it will wake the screen when you pick up the device [Not available in Nexus 5 so far] {I think it's hardware dependent. My Moto X have this out of box, even on Kitkat. :D}
# Share any file with a tap using android Beam [NFC enabled devices only :p] {I can do this on Kitkat also on my Moto X (just tried today with Xperia SP running Kitkat)}
# Project Volta, save battery {High hopes}
# Long press the notification brings animation as well as the name of the app and info icon
# Google search can be accessed from recents
# Hidden Flappy Bird clone game {WUT!}
# Quick Setting and notification in same screen, so open quick setting and look notification same time {Isn't this going backward? Didn't ICS had this?}
# Dismiss all notification icon in notification drop down finally in STOCK {I have it on Kitkat on Moto X}

That Animation Bonanza is a SPOILER! For anyone who's about to experience Lollipop in person, SHOULD NOT see the animations beforehand. :p

^ quick settings and notification is ICS idea but it's a full pledged quick settings not just small icons.
Ambient display is hardware limitations, Yes.
Sharing any files via beam has a catch. Let me see what it is
