It's up to you what you put your baby in, and unfortunately there's no right answer. It depends on your home, your lifestyle (if you like co-sleeping, for instance) your room size (can you even fit a pack n play in there?), if you have a separate nursery (and if you intend on using it), etc.
For us, we have a nursery but planned on keeping our daughter in our bedroom for at least the first 3 months (because feeding a baby semi-constantly during the newborn phase would mean I'd have to go up and down a hallway frequently, and I didn't want that!). However, our bedroom is very small and we wouldn't be able to fit a Pack N Play in there. So, we got this travel bassinet, which we also used when visiting friends and family. It fit nicely between my side of the bed and the wall so I could easily grab the baby when she'd wake up at night to eat.
For naps, however, I wanted her to do so on the main floor of the house since that's where I spent most of my days while on maternity leave. We got this Pack N Play which has a "napper" in it, as you mention. For nap time, she slept in the napper for the first few weeks. But then she ended up getting diagnosed with reflux and needed to sleep on an incline, so from then up until around month 3, she napped in this Rock N Play. (So, regarding "Does this mean it is okay to put an infant on a non-flat surface, as long as they are on their back?" - not really, according to the current recommendations. But, if you end up with a reflux baby like I did, sleeping on an incline is a must; and, for many, tummy-sleeping helps immensely with reflux.)
At 3 months, as planned, we moved her out of our bedroom at night and stopped the Rock N Play for naps, and she has since slept in her crib in her nursery. The Rock N Play and travel bassinet is in the basement waiting for baby #2 in a few years, and the Pack N Play is in our living room used as a playpen.
So, again, it totally depends on your personal situation. You can go basic and just go with a crib in a nursery from the start. You can go minimalist and co-sleep for as long as you care to, then go straight to a toddler bed. You can go traditional and do a bassinet or other non-crib sleeper in the bedroom, then move them to a crib in the nursery at 6 months. Again - there's no wrong answer. Just do what you think will work best for you!
I had a pack and play for my first baby and I just sold it to a secondhand store. I think they are too big for their intended use. My daughter never liked it as a sleep device and she hated it as a containment device once she got mobile. We ended up getting a snuggle nest to put in the pack and play for her to sleep in because the pack and play was too wide open.
This time I went with a travel crib to put next to our bed for the first few months. I hope the new baby likes it. I guess we'll find out here in the next week or so.
Another option I considered was the Fisher-Price Rock and Play Bassinet, because as I said the pack and play was just too big.
