What iPad and Apple Pencil to get
I’m looking to get an iPad and an Apple Pencil to use a program called procreate and other editing programs. What would be the best one to get without breaking the bank.

All current iPad models all run the same full iPadOS.
All current iPad models all either use the original, 1st or newer 2nd gen Apple Pencil.
( iPad 8th gen and iPad Mini 5 all use the original, 1st gen Apple Pencil )
( 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro and 2020 iPad Air 4 models use the 2nd gen Apple Pencil )
So, iPads are more like cars, now.
You are paying for iPad optional features, now.
Do you want/need larger internal data storage space for data, like music. movies and photos/images and room for other types of data?
Do you need a larger or smaller iPad screen?
Do you need/want an iPad model in a variety of colors?
Do you want/need a bonded, laminated display?
Do you/want/need higher color gamut display with Tru-tone room brightness calibration?
Do you want/need faster internal CPU?
Do you want/need more internal processing RAM?
Do you want/need better iPad cameras?
Do you want/need better/more iPad speakers?
Do you want/need the improved, 2nd gen Apple Pencil?
Do you want/need to have the new Magic Keyboard portfolio for the 2018/2020 iPad Pro models?
All of these options are what you need to decide if you really need, or not, and to decide to pay for accordingly.
The more iPad features you decide you need, the more you pay.
It all comes down to how much money you are willing to spend on iPads with additional, premium features.
You can now pretty much do everything on any iPad model, now.
All iPads are sufficiently powerful enough to do pretty much any task put to them now.
Best of Luck to You!
