Currently have and use a wacom bamboo pen and touch CTH-460
Ive had it for over 6 years and its still doing well.
Honestly, If you are looking for a cheap but good tablet - try hunting for Wacom Bamboo (Any of that kind)
(Im not sure if they are still being made, but you can definitely find some on places such as ebay and amazon cheap! Just check that they are in good quality!)
If you want something which you want to keep for years and that you know will continue using - it is worth investing in an intuos!
They are much better tablets after all and totally worth the price
Just make sure whatever you buy has a decent amount of sensitivity levels for better control with digital art
