There is not best. Most lights on the market will do what you want when implemented properly. Usually when fellow hobbyist recommend something it is because they are familiar with it or a bit biased. Also marketing is strong in this hobby saying that you need XYZ to be successful. So your mileage may vary.

I would add to that list Reeffi 2.0 and quanta. Also set a budget, max. That will help you as there will be a pretty wide disparity between some kits. G6 and Stratons will carry a premium. Also factor in support in case you need help.

One last thing to consider is buying used. Radion G4 and 5's are very popular still so you may be able to pick some up in good condition with low hours as people upgraded to G6's.

Edit: note - I didn't actually answer so I apologize. I do not really have one to be honest.
