Do you want a keyboard or a keyboard case?
Keyboard: Find a Logitech that you like. My daughters use the K380 for theirs.
Keyboard Case: I've used Anker and Arteck and was happy with them. My main annoyance comes from they usually have a different charging port than an iPad. There's also the Apple provided options, but they're always more pricey.

Those are really good ones. My wife bought some other brand off Amazon and has had it for a few years. It feels like good quality though she doesn't use it very much.
Not sure this is what you want, but it's what I use for my iPad.

I can easily use it with the keyboard on a table; it also works reasonably well on my lap, although I've only tried it while sitting (not sure I've tried it while in bed, in any position). It's also a simple BT keyboard, so it should connect to most anything.
The spot where you drop a tablet or phone into seems to work pretty well.

I need a regular keyboard since I do not like the digital keyboard on the screen.
I have a Logitec one (380?). You can pair it to three different devices. I also paired it to my TV so I can quickly type when I search for shows or movies.
Any Bluetooth keyboard will work. How do you or will you prop up the iPad itself ? As others have mentioned, and similar to what you show in your first post, they make cases with integrated keyboards that fold in a way to prop the iPad up for viewing.
I had a Zagg for almost 10 years when I got my 1st iPad. Probably as good as it gets.
I recently got the iPad Mini; I just received this Greenlaw Keyboard Case. Seems fine so far but I don't much time on it.

Does a nice option, do you have a brand for it
Yes, @supton is a great suggestion.
My wife has the k380 (might be out of production now) she uses it for both her Mac DeskTop and her new iPad. She preferred the k380 do to smaller size. She has small hands. I was just going to post a link to this one.
Her iPad case stands on its own so she places the iPad at any distance from the keyboard.
Nothing to lose if he doesnt like it, it's Amazon, free returns. Here is the larger k780 supton posted

Here is the smaller k380

The quality feel of these devices (at least for the k380) is amazing
