Zigbee and zwave dongle recommendation request

Hardware
1

I run Home Assistant with almost exclusively Aqara sensors: Motion, Door/Window, Water.
I was never able to keep them connected even when they were 6 feet clear line of site to my server.
I bought an m1s Gen 2 hub and paired it to Home Assistant.
Since then I’ve e never lost connection to my sensors.
I’ve lost illuminace functionality so I’d prefer to go back to direct zigbee pairing with HA.
I’m wondering if my issue is with my HUSBZB-1 which I have on a 6 foot extension.

I’m looking for a dongle recommendation that supports zigbee and zwave

Here’s an official list: Z-Wave Controllers - Home Assistant

The HUSBZB-1 is the only one I know of that does both zigbee and zwave, but at this point it is using outdated chipsets for both.

You’ll be better off with two separate dongles.

I’m ok with getting seperate dongles.
How do I go about picking the right ones?

Was thinking of updating my HUSBZB seeing I’ve been running that since 2017 so that’s getting a bit on.
