Which hub for Matter?

Now that Gladys is Matter-compatible :clap: :rocket: I’m starting to look at which Matter hub I could buy.
I see that some Apple TV, Nest Hub and Aqara/Ikea/Philips bridges can do routing.

Some Zigbee dongles are Thread-compatible (and therefore Matter) but you have to flash the firmware.

And there are also specific dongles.

Which one do you use? Did you choose a hub according to your equipment (Apple TV because you use HomeKit)?

Should you favor a Thread hub to have broader device coverage?

If I understand correctly, MatterBridge allows integrating non-Matter devices (like Shelly or Zigbee) into Matter. Is there any benefit to doing that for Zigbee (aside from having everything under a single integration in Gladys)?
