I would recommend one of the Wacom Intous tablets. They have many to fit your needs and budget and are arguably the best on the market.

Check them out here:Wacom

get the wacom intuos 3. if you have a single i recommend the 6x8 $300. if you have dual monitors get the 9x12.

the programmable buttons really helps speed up your workflow because you no longer have to reach for the keyboard.

all buttons are programmable via the systems preferences which the wacom software loads into. it's extremely intuitive to program the buttons and you can do it on the fly so you can see what it does without having to restart the program.

if your pen movesments lag at all which mine did then delete the wacom preferences from the library and restart the program. this solved my problem and it is extremely responsive. don't skimp on the intuos 3 or grpahire the extra buttons on the intuos 3 is worth it.

I have both graphire and intuos tablets and for $100-200 I'd go for a larger graphire than a smaller intuos if this is your first tablet. gives you better size relationship from tablet to screen
