If you intend to use it just for media consumption -> get an iPad.
If you intend to tweak/tune/mangle/misuse it -> get nexus.
Keep in mind the iPad's stock media apps don't exactly play all codecs, and the apps that don't tie well into the system (at least that's what I found).
Games however, work better on the iPad (iOS in general, Android apps aren't optimized for each device).

Having both a Nexus 7 and a regular iPad 2, I find myself using the Nexus 7 way more, with the iPad barely being used (on the plus side, the iPad's been on for 29 days without being charged, that's as awesome as battery life gets).
