Honestly I like the new Notes app. Not sure if it's ready to replace the '2Do' app but it's definitely a good start.

I don't think the new Notes app will ever replace the calendar app...
I look forward to seeing the notes app when it's released, but I doubt it will be useful enough for me to switch from OneNote. We will see.
Probably because the NOTES app is a NOTES app and not a TODO app... maybe probably.
OneNote - I've used this full time for a few years, however over the past 3+ months I've noticed that it performs very badly, big lag between hitting keys on keypad and showing up on screen. I've tried re-install, without opening my existing notebooks and have the same issue. This occurred on both iOS 8.3 and now 8 beta 1. I have two folks I work with who experience the same issue. From a features point of view, it is great, I especially like the multiple text boxes, allowing me to add a second column within notes for actions and other tracking points.
Notes App - If we could change the appearance that would go a long way to me wanting to use it, however the yellow top and odd "skewmorphic" design just makes it less appealing to use.
Notibility - I quite like it, I own it on my iPad and have been using it recently. A few odd things, but it might be a contender if I can't find a fix for Onenote. I especially like the meeting recording function, and if you take notes it syncs the time code. So I can simply press the word I typed and it will skip to the relevant audio, obvious "can I record this meeting" issues if you use this feature.
Evernote - I stopped using it because of a lack of full screen note view in landscape on the iPad, this seems to have been fixed but a little odd (adding a new note, no full screen, however when you modify an existing one). I also could use a few more "item markers" like in OneNote. Also the adding recording to the notes could be better integrated, ala Notability.
So where does this leave me, not quite sure just yet, if OneNote didn't perform like a dog it offers the best balance (however no integrated audio, not sure this is a deal breaker). So it's between Evernote and Notability.......the biggest difference is the audio integration (in favour of Notability) and cross platform (Notability only iOS and Mac, no Windows).
Any other suggestions/input?
Here is how I use notes applications:
- Notes App - My general-purpose app for most basic things.
- Notibility - I use this for more complicated notes.
- OneNote - I only use this for work.
I'm not a fan of Evernote, and I'm not going to pay a monthly fee. So . . . these three apps do everything I need them to do.
Evernote is great... Syncing your notes is still unsurpassed on this app.

Definitely this. As a cross platform user. Evernote syncing between phone/tablet/ios/android/desktop app/browser is unparalleled. Notes App will never be this and that is OK.
To be fair, Evernote can appear overwhelming or too much to a new user of the app, but when they figure out that they can rename, rearrange/customize it to fit their wants and needs that is when they appreciate how great it is. The new Notes app is moving in the right direction and the added functions are indeed welcomed, but it will be a while before it can dethrone Evernote., in my opinion.
There are still upload limits in place, but I've never gone over. I was a premium subscription member for a while but then cancelled it and reverted back to basic. The things I upload to it 'most' are my scanned receipts. If I need to upload any large documentation, I upload it to Dropbox. Anyway, the basic options of Evernote is depicted below.

I'm sure 60MB is more than enough for text notes. You find adding receipts, web clips and other scans doesn't make one go over 60MB?
Thanks.
There's no issue with how much to store, but only in how much to upload within a given month's time.
