I bought some Monoprice Hidden Door Sensors because they were cheap. Found out the hard way that they are garbage. Repeatedly losing the open/close signals into the nether, and sometimes if the signal gets out, it is sent seconds after the event. I bought the “Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7” to replace them, and they are so much faster, better and accurate. Supposedly the Aeotecs have a 3-year battery life too. Only about $10 more than the Monoprice. Avoid the Monoprice at all costs.
Can highly recommend Xiaomi Door/Windoe sensors, extremly cheap and battery last at least >1year. No false triggers for me in the last 3 years.

I’d you don’t have routers in your zigbee mesh that won’t play nicely with Xiaomi.
For zwave, I can recommend Aeotec. Theis support is top notch. I had a few issues and questions and their staff always responded within a day and in a very knowledgeable friendly way.
