I recommend avoiding off-brand devices. You might encounter problems such as no Google Play store, etc.

As long as the tablet has Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich or newer, you should be fine. Android versions was a problem before since Android 2.3/Gingerbread or older just doesn't provide a good experience for tablets. Nowadays, even the knock-offs come with ICS and there are even some that come with 4.1/Jelly Bean so it's not as much of an issue.
