Don't pay for 3G if you never used it on the previous model. Better to get a larger capacity iPad 3 than a smaller iPad 2 with 3G.

Which network are you with and which tariff?
They have, AFAIK, started to move away from charging extra for tethering. O2, for example, includes tethering now with the tariffs introduced when the 4S was released.
