I'm a fan of Trianglelab's DDB V2.1. Sure it's fundamentally a clone, but at least they've made some improvements to it, and the original is really not worth the price Bondtech is charging for it.
It's a lot stronger than the Creality extruder and the single gear "all metal" red extruder, which makes extrusions more consistent. It can also print somewhat flexible filaments, at least if you slow down a little.
There are of course better and lighter extruders out there, but the DDB has the advantage that it can be used as a drop-in replacement on Enders etc., and if you want to mod the printer in the future it's compatible with most custom designs.
