spec wise Genius & Iball is clear winner (majorly bcause of active area) but i don't know quality & driver support for this application so plz help me which to buy. 
Is touch that important?

I personally wouldn’t buy anything other than a Wacom since I don’t trust that they would work right with those apps, but that’s just me. Otherwise, if you’re going to be using the tablet on a large screen (27" and above), get as big as possible. I was really disappointed when I replaced my Intuos3 6x11 with an Intuos Pro medium that was smaller and so I sold it and got the large. It’s really big but it’s way way better. Height/width is going to make far more difference than some bells and whistles like touch, which I just turn off because I end up just triggering it by accident most of the time.

If you’re looking to save money, go for an Intuos4 or a refurb Intuos Pro
