My main gripe when it comes to most Android tablets and letter/A4 PDFs is the aspect ratio.
A4: 8.3"/11.7" = 0.709
Letter: 8.5"/11" = 0.773
iPad: 3/4 = 0.75
Android: 10/16 = 0.625
The iPad works better if you don't like to constantly pan and zoom. I've been looking into Chinese 4:3 retina display Android tablets but it's early stages as of now with most having either atrocious battery life, sub par performance or both.
If money's not an issue (and you don't need the miscellaneous features that Android tablets bring to the table), then I suggest iPad 3rd or 4th generation + GoodReader app.
