I currently have the 32GB with wifi and 3G. The size you need is determined by the things you want to keep on your iPad. I have a couple hundred songs, at least a couple hundred pictures, and a whole bunch of apps. I have only used 2.6GB. If you are going to save lots of movies and a whole lot more music than I do, then you probably need the 64GB, but I don't do movies on my iPad, and if I ever do I don't need to save them cause I only watch movies once. I have plenty of room for that.
Most places you go do have wifi. We travel all summer in our 5th wheel and find that most of the state parks we go to have wifi. However, we also go to some real in-the-woods places where there is no water or electricity, and definitely no wifi, so I got the 3G. It costs an additional $20 per month, but I only subscribe for the months that we are in the sticks. You don't have to sign up for a contract.
So, if you are mostly in places that have wifi, 3G is not needed.
So, all the differences in the models are choices that you can make, based on your needs.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday/'anniversary/xmas!
