There is a fault in the neutral of one of the cables going to my six way

This makes me wonder whether I should replace the fuse box with a modern
consumer unit, probably 8 way.
Can anyone recommend a suitable unit. One of the problems that will
inevitably occur is that the house wiring cables will be to short. So
ideally I would like a unit that has all the terminals close to the
cable entry point would be a bonus.
Type of earthing? Metal or plastic? Cheap or deluxe? 2 RCDs or RCBOs?
