I have to say that these questions about which is better and this and that will start to slowly fade away as time passes because the users of Android devices and iOS devices are starting to get more and more entrenched into the ecosystems that each company provides. So, unless you're new to this arena, you should start answering your question by looking at the device that's really going to support your desired setup.
In other words, if you're an iTunes user and all of your music purchases were from the iTunes store, you have all your data backed up to iCloud and you love how everything syncs with your Macbook, then you may want to get an iPad. There's no shame in this choice even if you love some of the Android tablets better!
On the flipside, if you don't use iTunes and you'd rather start using the features that you Google account has (which is everything Apple offers and more) and allow it all to sync between the Google Play store and all of your Android devices, then why would you get an iPad?? Who wants to be stuck with some purchases on your iPad and another collection of stuff on your Nexus 10? Maybe it's just me, but I like the centralized feel of having everything under one roof. The only thing "Apple" I kept after switching to Android was my Macbook, but that's because I still need a computer and I'm not too fond of what Microsoft is doing these days.
There once was a time where specs really mattered and people would choose one side versus the other simply because of the selection of apps, but these days, the dust is settling and the lines are becoming blurred. We seem to be left with which one looks and feels better and who's ecosystem we'd like to live in for a while.
