I need recommendations on those mini ARM computers.
I have an external HDD lying around that I want to put to good use. The idea of simply hooking it up via usb and use it as a miniNAS at home is really attractive. Ideally, I would make the data available on the go.
Sadly, I dont know much about ARM technology.
The lazy route is buying a Raspberry Pi 3 but can I cheap out and buy on of the cheaper ones like nanopi or orangepi zero?

You're definitely going to want one with
a) Gigabit Ethernet
and
b) SATA or USB3.
The latter is virtually non-existent, so get one with SATA.

Orange pi plus 2 seems perfect for op.

Buy a decent router like an Asus AC with USB ports, if for some reason you don't have a home server

If you want a good one you'd have to look at specialized/high end boards ($150+)
So just get the cheapest one that isn't a rpi, has gmac and a decent cpu.
