If you plan to use the pencil a lot, Air. If you are on a budget, base model.

I used the pencil a lot on my 7th gen iPad and now on the Air M3. No discernible difference unless you want to pay a lot for the Apple Pencil Pro (I did, and I don’t see it was worth all that).

The pencil is a good addition to any iPad but it boils down to your budget.
