I don't have an iPad, but on my iPod Touch I mostly use Stockfish (which is free). It makes a great 'pocket set'. It's easy to set up positions and the engine can help you analyze.

Try shredder and shredder lite (free version). Stockfish "seems" to be a little quicker and sometimes more accurate to me.
For example, I put this mate in 4 problem (From a Bobby Fischer column in Boys Life '66) into both on an iphone 4. The free stockfish app found it immediately and the shredder app only found mate in 5 until I made the stockfish recommended move and then it saw the mate in 4.
I like Chess pro with coach. It has the ability to play variations and also variations on variations. The engine is decent too, although I don't know how it compares to Shredder or Hiarcs.
