This has been on my mind lately and I figured this community would have solid input.
What bothers me most is how hard it is to find real, unfiltered opinions on this stuff. Forums like this are honestly more useful than any best-of list I've found through searching.
The main problem I keep running into is not knowing who to trust or where to even start. There's a ton of conflicting advice out there and half of it feels like it's coming from people who just want to sell you something.
Would really appreciate any honest takes from people who've actually tried different options.
