Pi-Hole vs AdGuard vs NextDNS (monero.town)

I use Pi-Hole and works great. I've heard about AdGuard and seems the same thing as PiHole, but you have to install an app/extension. Everyone in this community recommend NextDNS. Whats the difference between them?

Be careful when setting up either of these as the default DNS service in your home network

So any DNS based blocker is going to have the same problem. I can report though that adguard home with the default blocklists and adding in the oisd big list hasn't broken anything. It isn't until I start adding keyword/regex based blocking that stuff starts breaking. And then it's mostly streaming apps that break. They have gotten smarter over the years about what to do when they can't find their ad/tracker servers.
