Aqara - Integration, HomeKit, or Matter?

New to HA and have an aqara door lock (u100). I know you need an Aqara hub for this, but what is the general concensious of the best way to bring this lock into HA?

It seems like there is an Aqara integration that could expose this, the good-old HomeKit integration, and now Matter with this particular product.

I suspect Matter is the most limiting? So any advantages of one method over another for either reliability or features exposed?

Ended up using Matter for 3 door locks and the Aqara E1 hub. Very responsive and no drop outs.
