What is your favorite graphics tablet? Myself, I LOVE the Intuos 4. Though the enhanced levels of sensitivity are fine, the thing I love most about it is the wheel pad. Makes changing brush sizes on the fly in GIMP very easy! I also love the shortcut keys LED.

Not much to add as that is the one I use (medium size). Love it.

I have previously used a Wacom Graphire (precursor to the current Bamboo) and a Wacom Intuos3 (A6). Currently I use a Wacom Intuos4 Medium.

I like them all. The Medium size tablet is not necessarily better than the A6 Intuos3 one, I think. Intuos4 looks prettier but I don't really notice the higher resolution of Intuos4 compared to Intuos3. Possibly one might spare the wrist somewhat with the larger area, but the precision is not affected in my view.

Anyway, here's my little summary of the latest tablet: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3000

I like my Hanwang.Worked right out of the box on Gimp-2.6.11 and Gimp-2.7.Never a problem.
I can unplug it put it away and a month later pull it out plug it in and it's ready to go. :)
My first tablet so i guess i am a little biased. :lol

I'd give my left foot for a cintiq.

Currently I use a bamboo which is ok for most purposes, although I'd like to get at least an intuos some day. For the tilt recognition if nothing else.
