Which device would you recommend to work with?

There are plenty, but one I've played with and didn't get any headache to connect was the Wemos D1 Mini.

I can't figure out how to get the Arduino and the Shield to talks

As I said earlier, it is question of TX/RX wiring to switch back and forth between ATMega328 and USB-TTL Uart.
I didn't found the schematic of the board, but at least, I found this page about those connection :

In my searches lastnight, I ran across a tidbit that may help, but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. It mentioned tying the RES pin of the Arduino to Gnd, while you're trying to talk to the ESP8266. I found it amongst about a dozen different pages I was reading lastnight trying to solve this problem.
