Which LAN/WiFi Zigbee coordinators are good for ZHA? (EU, Aliexpress) (self.homeassistant)

Can you recommend me any good LAN/WiFi Zigbee coordinators for Home Assistants ZHA? Most preferable which can be ordered from Aliexpress or somewhere in the EU

Bonus question: are WiFi coordinators usually that much worse than LAN coordinators even if they're directly next to the WiFi router?

I have had great success with the coordinators hand built by Tubes. He has a variety of options to choose from, and his support is bar none better than you will find from any mass produced product.

I’m just now getting into Zigbee with the PoE coordinator and let me say it is a great relief to have a radio that works over the network, as run HA in a VM and sometimes need to move it between servers, and this way I don’t have to do any funky USB pass through or anything like that, since the radio communicates over the network. It’s awesome.

I've been using a ZZH (ZigZigaH) from Electrolama for Zigbee for a while with zero issues. I use Zigbee2MQTT though so I can't say if it's any good for ZHA, but I think Z2M is far superior to ZHA anyway

I have had success on ZHA using Sonoff Dongle E with IKEA plugs as routers. Mixture of aqara, Sonoff and IKEA switches/buttons/sensors etc so far.
