Yup, if one's choosing between Apple Hardware/iOS and DROID/Droid hardware, it's like choosing between the lesser of two evils.
I use both iOS and Droid. iOS for my iPad Mini and Droid on my Motorola Turbo. I use my iPad Mini mostly for email and media content at this point. The Droid is my mobile productivity tool of choice. Take notes on it, text on it, calendaring, appointments etc.. it's easier to type with my two fat thumbs on the Motorola Droid Turbo than it is on the iPad mini. Go figure.
If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go Mac/iPad Pro/iPhone 6 at this point.

Use Siri instead of typing on your iPad mini. Or you can add a keyboard if that is more comfortable.
