Following antisheep is just the same as following sheep.
Buy the best thing that does what you want it to do that you can afford. The brand is irrelevant.
I buy Apple goods because they're the absolute best for my requirements. Your requirements may vary. For example, I have friends who feel that Free Software is a moral imperative and will not use anything that fails to comply with the GPL; that is their prerogative, and I would not insult them by suggesting they obtain either an iOS or Windows 8 device.
If you are, however, sane and reasonable and are buying this device for a non-techie partner: get them an iPad. If you don't you'll suffer in the short, medium, and long run. To a normal person, being able to recompile the kernel is irrelevant compared to an inability to run some silly gubbins that all their friends are running on their iPads.
EDIT: oh, and that silly Flash stuff? Last year's flash in the pan. Adobe killed it; they realised they couldn't make it work. It's no longer supported on devices. Let it go.
