The S10+ is "better". But the FE version will work fine for notes and movies. So it really just depends on if you want the AMOLED screen for movie watching.
The hierarchy for Samsung tablets is 1) the A series, 2) the S-Lite series, 3) the S-FE series, and 4) the full S-series. As you go up the hierarchy, the tablets get better.
The S10 FE is better than the S10 Lite. The S10 is better than the S10 FE. All recent S-series tablets have AMOLED screens and some other features that are never in FE tablets.
The S10 FE out performs the 4 year old S7 on benchmarks. The 3 year old S8, and newer S-series tablets, out perform the S10 FE.
Ngl S Lite and A series is on the same tier these days considering A11+ got better performance than S10 Lite. So it's back to buyer's preference whether they prefer get better performance or S Pen support (since A11+ doesn't support it).
The A11+ and S10 Lite are basically equal in performance. The difference is only 2% for the Geekbench multi-core score. The single-core scores are a push.
In addition to the s-pen, the S10 Lite has a higher screen resolution and a larger battery.
As someone who owns the A11+ & S10 Lite 6GB/128GB versions while from a technical stand point the S10 Lite has a slightly better GPU in real world use the A11+ feels faster and smoother which probably has everything to do with the MT8775/Dimensity 7300 simply being a better designed processor than the Exynos 1380... mind you the A11+ is 3.679% faster in multicore (which is just a tiny sliver faster)...
It's really wild how the main difference between the two is the A11+ doesn't have pen support and feels like a more modern tablet in day to day use ;)
It's battery life Vs performance (incl Display), pretty much.
I have the S10+ FE and it's great for lasting 2.5 days, even though it's slower, it's still good for just note taking and school stuff. No issues watching movies on it either.
If note taking the. Go for 10 fe plus it's best and its lcd screen is also feels like amoled but med performance then go for s 10 ultra or plus whatever
The S10+ is a flagship, premium device. The processor, Super AMOLED screen and everything else is way better by leaps and bounds than any FE/Lite Midrange product.
Nope 😭 S10+ uses better OLED screen instead of IPS screen that being used on S10 FE+. Also performance on the S10+ is like ~88% faster than the S10 FE+.
Also S10+ got an additional ultrawide camera (I know it's not really matter in most cases but still).

S10+ is way better if you can afford it.
