Chances are you are only going to get it out when you are sitting down somewhere, and then you can usually find a hotspot to connect to. I have a 3G slot in my iPad, not from choice but because the end-of-line model I bought on eBay just happened to have one. But I have never put a SIM in it and in 3 years I can probably think of only a handful of times I'd genuinely wished I'd had one.
When I come to replace my iPad I won't be seeking out a model with a SIM slot.

... to add to that:
Also consider that, depending upon what phone you have, you may be able to "tether" it to a WiFi only tablet and use the phone's 3G/4G connection when not able to use WiFi.
I have only ever had WiFi iPads, and on those rare occasions when I've not been able to use WiFi I have just tethered my iPad to my phone and used the phone's 3G connection.
