What to look for in a CCS adapter? (self.tesla)

I just got back from a 1,200+ mile road trip and Superchargers, especially with the trip planning, made it easy!

However non-Tesla chargers seem to be more common in Connecticut. I went to try one and discovered I don’t have as complete a set of adapters as I thought. What if I need to charge at a CCS charger?

I looked online and the price range is huge. I see a $64 and one close to $300, and several in between. Do you know what the difference is or what I should be looking for? Is there one you’d recommend? Is it even worth it, since Superchargers are everywhere, plus I charge at home, and CCS is likely to go away in a couple years?

It's important to note that North America and Europe use slightly different versions of CCS. I believe OP is in North America, which uses the SAE J1772 connector, while Europe uses the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector. The Tesla NACS connector, while originally proprietary, is in the process of becoming an open standard as the SAE J3400 connector.
