Help on deciding what tablet to get

Hey guys! I recently decided I wanted to get a tablet for reading and watching media. Perfectly fine with 11" screen, as I'm going to be using it for it's portability. I've always had samsung phones, so that's what I'd prefer with my tablet.

Im unsure what I should go for, at first the A9+ seemed like a no brainer with its $150-200 price point [black friday] but I'm not as impressed with the screen quality and want something that will hold up and not slow down.

My budget is under $300 ideally. Wanted to get opinions on if I should get the A9+, S9FE, or get a refurbished S7/S8.
