are you buying one for the kids? I would buy whatever is most durable.
...but, honestly, I would not buy one at all until they have some kind of demonstrated need for one. they are computers for surfing content on the interwebs, after all, and all that signifies.
My kids are savvy iOS users. We lock down the things that are lockdown-able and educate them on the things that are not. We monitor their usage, limit the time they get to use the iOS devices and mix in enough of "other" types of play and educational activities, so I think we're cool with establishing a good balance for them and also making sure that they are not getting into anything they shouldn't be.
Now, back to the question at hand....
