In terms of bang for the buck a 128GB 10.2 iPad is a better buy than a 64GB 10.9 iPad Air. You should save about $200 which would more than cover the cost of a decent case and even AppleCare+ if that interests you.

I would recommend the 10.9 Air mostly if you want something like the Pro without paying extra for one.
I went with the 128gb 10.2” per your recommendation. I also got a Speck balance folio case (black) on sale for $21 set for curbside pickup tomorrow at the same location. Total was $500.21 for both items.

Depends on what you do. Everything streaming or on cloud? You could probably get away with 32GB albeit that might feel super cramped if iPadOS gets more bloated. 64GB would probably be fine but again, this is dependent on what Apple does with future firmware updates.
I mainly stream and have 50gb storage of iCloud. I don’t take many photos and I don’t store many documents either. I went ahead and bought the 128gb 10.2” iPad since I won’t need it for any professional use. Thanks!
