I've used 3 different models of Lulzbots and 3 models of Enders.
Honestly, I'd recommend an Ender 3 v3. Unless you need an absurdly large build plate, in which case, the Ender 5+.
They've been extremely reliable, easy to use, and they don't send your prints off to the manufacturer (like Bambu does).
Now, if you are going to do extremely detailed, small things (like D&D minis), then my recoendation doesn't necessarially hold. I believe a resin printer is your best bet.
I'm going to switch an ender 5 over to a 0.2mm head as soon as the heads arrive, and I'll probably post here about how well it prints with the smaller nozzle. Hopefully that'll let it do the tiny details.
