I busted the screen on my iPad, again. It's the 3rd time and a new screen is going to cost ~150 or so. Should I repair it or get a new one? It's an iPad 2 32gb that's about 3 years old. Should I repair it or go and get a new one?

Whatever you do, I suggest getting AppleCare+.

What's the price difference on a new one?

I think a new one is around $500. Is the new one a lot better than mine?

Maybe look into getting the lifelock case for it!

At this point, a new model is preferred. $150? Is that a refurbished from the Apple Store?

Why buy what's made to break?

If you can afford it now, go with the new one. You will have to upgrade eventually anyway.

I'm thinking a new one would be the best move.

You can always keep the old one, save up the money to fix it then resell it later.
