I've yet to buy a PSC but will any 2.5" 1 TB USB 3.0 external HDD connected to it work, regardless of the OTG cable?
What's the best PSC exploit?

You can buy a T Adapter for from USB micro to micro and USB A. it depends on the Power Supply you're going to use if it Delivers enough Power for the PS Classic when you're planning on using a 2,5" drive. 3,5" drives should work fine because they got their own Power Supplies.
Your Jailbreak options are
AutoBleem vs. BleemSync vs. RetroBoot
it depends on what you prefer.
I prefer Autobleem with it's your choice.
An Adapter like this, you can get them on aliexpress:

This Adapter is useful because you need to provide power to the PS Classic.
You could also use the front USB but then one of the ports can't be used for a second Controller and it looks neater with the OTG Adapter I showed you.
Of Course you need the correct angled one, there are 2 different once and only one of this is suitable, the other one would block the HDMI Port.
I think left Bend is the correct angled one.
I recommend checking the Connector on the PS Classic and compare it to the Pictures in the Reviews, there is also mentioned above the Picture which one the specific Customer Ordered.
Honestly, if you want it to look clean and can live with having to swap SD cards or limiting yourself to the capacity of a single SD card you may prefer going a route similar to what I did... tho you COULD fit a 2.5" drive in here as well, it just wouldn't be easily removable.

Full picture guide
How much games you plan to play on the classic?
I don't know. Many, I guess. Is it possible to remove the stock games?
Do all USB 2.0 Flash Drives work and what's the average PS1 game size?
Are USB Flash Drives slower than external HDDs and do they wear faster?
Can't remove the internal 20 games, some of the are not bad to try though like Wild Arms, Final Fantasy 7, Street Fighter Puzzle, it come down to how much storage you want, I just have a 32GB usb connected to the front, games size range from like 100MB to 2GB, so it come down to how much space you need. I believe you can run like 256GB samsung fit since it is so small.
So, would it support a 256 GB 2.5" external HDD or USB Flash Drive with just an OTG cable, or only the latter, and if it's USB 2.0? I guess 256 GB would be enough for me but it would be slower copying files than if using a USB 3.0 device. Maybe it would take hours to copy dozens of them. I don't mind losing a controller port.
The OTG cable need to be connect to the where the power cable is connected, not through the front, the front is limited to 5V/100mA
So, how do I do that? Do I have to use another device to connect both the power cable and the OTG cable to the same port?
AuviPal 3-Port Micro USB OTG Hub Adapter (3 USB Ports + Power Port) for Fire Stick 4K, Playstation Classic, Raspberry Pi Zero, Sega Genesis Mini, S/NES Classic Mini and More - Black
Something like this can be found on Amazon.
Would the PS Classic support a 2.5" USB 3.0 1 TB external HDD if using that?
Should work.
Should work.
I though only some external HDD/USB Flash Drives worked hence there's a compatibility list (and it doesn't even mention the former).

What's the difference between the previously mentioned jailbreak options and what about Project Iris?
