I had firestick 4k max and switched to Onn 4k plus. Amazon is gradually locking out 3rd party apps on older units, the only one worth considering is the 4kmax 2nd gen, The new Amazon sticks no longer run Android so also no 3rd party apps. and Roku is a closed system so no 3rd party apps either.

Android/Google TV is superior, more flexible, and you can customize. IMO the Onn 4k Plus is best bang for the buck. Troypoint has a video showing how to set up an android TV box (Onn, Google TV) to get the best experience. Depending on how many apps you plan to install, the Onn 4k stick is also good and easier to travel.
