Wacom is def'ly the leader of the pack - I recommend the 6x8" Graphire.
Adesso is a fine brand as well. I've tried 2 models from Aiptek (quite a
while back) and found them wanting but you can get an 8x10 for about $120.
One bit of advice, skip the little 4x5" pads ... they are a bit
restricting. Get a budget for a slightly larger pad. That may mean you
need to be sure this is a move you want to make.
