Ok, first, tablets, are NOT cheap at all.
They are all expensive as ****.
Not unfordable, but still hella expensive.
Now, as for brand, there is only one brand to get.
Wacom
There are not a lot of things that I'll only ever look at one brand when I'm looking to buy, but tablets are one of them.
Anyway, I know Newegg and Canada arn't friends, but they are good to simply pick stuff out with.
Here's Wacom's current line-up

looking at that list makes me wish I had $1000 to spend on a tablet...
