Should I get a Stylus for my iPad or tablet?

Sometimes your finger is too large for doing any type of fine detail input. In those instances, a stylus is the best route to go. Targus makes a very affordable stylus.

Should you get one? It all depends upon whether or not you feel your hand isn't giving you the precision that you would like when working with your tablet. There are certain scenarios and apps that are better suited towards the usage of a stylus. Hand writing or note taking could make such an accessory essential.

A stylus is also great for creative apps like Sketchbook Express for the iPad. Sketchbook Express is a great program for doing illustrations. It has alot of functionality and the free version is pretty powerful, but there is also a pay version that includes additional features.
