Has anyone tried pros and cons [v3]

Posting this here because the relevant subreddit has gotten too noisy lately. For context, I am working with a pretty modest budget so high-end suggestions probably will not land. Quick context: I am relatively new to this and trying to find my footing.

I want to write something more comprehensive about this later but starting with a quick post to gather thoughts. Been thinking about this for a while and curious what the community thinks.
