xp-pen is a brand that is well liked/respected in general as a budget brand pen display.
So that would be a good option if you’re good with that size. If you could save up another $50 or so though (compared to the $250 mentioned in your OP), you could go up in size. And I think that would definitely be worth it.
Huion has a 13″ for $319, and XP-Pen has one fro $299.

Huion is a solid choice too. I have a larger model of theirs and have been very happy with it.
I have a Surface Pro 4, which is 12.5″ and I find it to be about as small as I would want to draw directly on the screen for long periods. I used to have an Android tablet, and while I thought it was pretty good for what it was, the 10″ size was less than ideal for longer sessions. Definitely doable, but the couple of inches makes a big difference in overall comfort.
I’m not sure how tight your budget is, or if it’s taking you a long time to save up the money, or if you just don’t think it’s worth spending more than $250 or what, so I don’t want to downplay the difference of $50-70. But if you can swing it, I think it would really be worth the wait to save up more/spend extra. 10.1″ vs 13.3″ doesn’t seem like a big difference, but it’s more than it seems, especially once you have toolbars, palettes, etc. on the screen.

But if this is the the top of your budget, which is fine, then I think XP-Pen is a top contender at that price point.
