I'm helping someone transfer everything from their existing 10.3.3 iPad to a new device. What's the best way to do that? I have a Win10 PC with iTunes installed.

When you get the new device and go through the first time startup stuff, one of the questions is if you want to set it up as a new iDevice, transfer data from your old one, or restore from backup (iTunes or iCloud). If you choose transfer, it will create a wireless bridge between the 2 devices and transfer almost everything. Biometrics and CCs definitely do not transfer, and I think that apps will have to re-download (it's been a couple of years since I've last done this).
