Minimum memory in ipadpro (2021), also any preference of screen size

[Skids]

I apologise if this is answered elsewhere but my searches have not found anything definite.  My daughter is an art and design student and is twisting my arm so that I buy her an ipad pro.  My issue is that I'm not an ipad convert so have not followed their progress (not enough ports for me) so I wonder which options I should be looking at.  My daughter also has an M1 Macbook Air so there is no reason why she can't archive older project/files to disc via airdop and her laptop

The price of an ipad is driven by the SSD storage and starts at 128Gbytes and I am think of getting her the 256Gbyte machine; is this a wise choice?

The next question is which screen size 11 inch or 12.9 inch?   Is there much difference in portability between the two?  I imagine that a larger screen is better for graphics work but having seen neither its hard to decide so what are your thoughts based on real world use?

best wishes

You should be fine with either storage amount as you can always move items to cloud storage as well if it's setup. In terms of screen size, you may want to do a search on YouTube for videos comparing the screen sizes and the properties/benefits of each.
