Best note-taking setup with tablet and keyboard?

I use a Google Nexus 7 (2013) and a Neptor folding bluetooth keyboard and I really like them. For Android notetaking I use either Jota+, a very capable and flexible plain text editor with lots of special key options you don’t find in other Android editors, or Handrite Pro. In Handrite you can type notes on the screen or external keyboard, or you can hand write them in the designated screen area and they are put on the screen like typing in whatever size you like (as handwriting). With the Nexus (or other Android tablets, I assume) you can also download Stylus Beta (by Vision Objects) which is a very capable handwriting recognition app that works in any program in which you would otherwise use a keyboard. And I have really awful handwriting. Finally, for notetaking, my Nexus also has a voice-to-text function that works very well, especially if I want to take something down quickly and I’m not in a situation where I can easily use a keybaord (e.g., driving, though don’t tell my wife!).
