Hi
Here’s some answers for you:-)
The difference between the 2010 and the 2012 is the cpu that comes pre installed but apart from that there is no difference (I wouldn’t let that be a decider as once you have upgraded them there is no difference at all
The difference between 4,1 and 5,1 is they use different CPU types
4,1 needs de-lidded Cpus
whereas
5,1 need ones that have a lid/heats spreader
As far as I know you can’t use a 4,1 cpu tray in a 5,1
One more thing to add if you get a 5,1 you will want to flash the firmware to5,1 so you can use better cpus
If you need any help doing this leave me a comment and il try my best to help:-)
Hopefully this answers your questions but if it doesn’t just ask me:-)
Thanks:-)

@hellomacos thank you so much, this is best answer what I can get. I was really confused about the CPU try because it's 50/50 what I can find online.
And if I want upgrade CPU is easy (and cheaper) to find de-lidded cpu or the one with heats spreader ?
People want quite a bit more for the delided versions from what Iv seen
You can get a deliding tool from eBay or Amazon and maybe ever AliExpress
:-)
@hellomacos so Mac Pro 5,1 it is :) thanks a lot.
It’s also quite easy to upgrade ether version
The only thing is if you get a4,1 you need to delid you cpus so that they will fit whereas on the 5,1 if the cpus have lids they will fit:-)
