Definitely get as much memory as you can afford. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the Air 2 but if the 128 gig is within your reach, go for it. Sooner or later you'll wish you had.

As for data transfer, there are a multitude of cloud services to which iPad apps will connect - Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, to name a few. Copy to the cloud, then download to a PC. It's an extra step but works well. Some apps will let you set up a Web-dav connection for direct wireless transfer from the iPad to a PC.

SanDisk makes a couple flash memory devices that are USB capable and generate their own Wi-Fi. You can move data to them wirelessly, then plug them into your PC for the final move.

I find myself in a situation where an iPad is the best tool for the job.
I am thinking the 9.7 inch ipad pro as the best compromise of cost,
future proofing and usability. Can these things take an SD card as well?
I'm thinking 32 gigs might be a little light, but I don't want to spend
extra if I can use cards.
The iPad air 2 will do what I want at 64mb and can be had for less than
the base pro model. Would it be the better choice?

The primary application is being the control panel for a quadcopter. I
want to have a bigger screen than my phone.

thanks
