I am looking towards buying a drawing tablet for use with Photoshop etc. Does anyone have any suggestions brand wise?
I found some on EBay, the brands were: UC-LOGIC, Wacom, DigiPro, Hanvon, Aquila, Graphire, GENIUS, Medion, Cool-iCam, CyberTablet, Nisis Easypen, Art Pad, Adesso, Acecad, Aiptek, E 3 WORKS, KB Gear,
Being new to this gizmo I would like some feedback also, on what size is best to get, 4x6, 6x8, or larger. Some have wireless mice and some are stand alone, is one better than the other, or should just get a stand alone tablet? What about pressure levels, is this important?
Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated... kk

Wacom is industry standard. Size depends on your drawing/writing style. If you sketch/write small with very little write movements then a 4x5 is enough but if you like to move your whole write or arm then 6x8 or 8x12 might be better suited though price increases with size. Attachments wise you can always buy later if you find you need it but in most cases the included pen and nibs are enough. In terms of pressure levels I doubt you'd notice any major difference unless your an illustrator.

I use a small Wacom Graphire 4 and find it quite good. One big
advantage is that it doesn't need batteries in the stylus. Some do
which makes the stylus heavier.
For photo editing most people prefer the smaller ones but those that do
more artistic stuff tend to prefer the larger ones.
