There are generally 3 different style of devices I keep in stock or recommend:
Amazon 4k FireStick (Fire TV Stick 4k with Alexa Voice Remote) @120 CAD
These small, portable, simple devices are great for the everyday person who's content using a few IPTV, TV shows and movie applications. These devices tend to have great dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Connection and also a great Bluetooth voice remote out of the box. As this is an official licensed device it also plays Netflix in 4K/HD (when available) unlike most boxes these days.
Cons of the device: Lacks USB ports, not suitable for those looking to run a lot of apps or games
Additional recommendations:   
Pick up or request a Bluetooth mini keyboard remote like the Q9:

Android Boxes Running either the:
Amlogic S905X2 priced at $140 CAD 
X96MAX / T95Q / BEELINK GTZ-MINI / MECOOL KM3 OR SIMILAR DEVICES
These new generation boxes are great for the everyday streamer that may want to install more applications and possibly some games as they have more storage than the above Firesticks. These boxes also have additional ports for those looking to hard wire an internet connection Via Ethernet and avoid possibly unstable WiFi connections. Having USB ports also makes it very easy to use with a wide array of accessories ranging from  keyboards, mice, additional storage and more. 
Cons of the device: Not suitable for Hardcore Gamers or those looking to run Netflix in HD quality
Additional recommendations:   Pick up or request a Bluetooth mini keyboard remote like the Q9 or the Rii i8++
 

Amlogic S922X priced at $200 CAD
Beelink GT-K (King)
These new generation boxes are great for the streamer's looking for top of the line performance, that may want to install more applications and possibly some games. They have more storage and processioning power than the devices listed above and also pack additional ports for those looking to hard wire an internet connection Via Ethernet and avoid possibly unstable WiFi connections. Having USB 3.0 ports also makes it very easy to use with a wide array of accessories ranging from  keyboards, mice, additional storage and more. 
Cons of the device: Not suitable for hardcore gamers or those looking to run Netflix in HD quality
Additional recommendations:   Pick up or request a Bluetooth mini keyboard remote like the Q9 or the Rii i8+

Nvidia Sheild  $300 CAD
The NVIDIA Shield TV is still the best Android TV box you can buy so far in 2019. This device is aimed at those looking for the absolute best in both performance and gaming. Nvidia has done a great job offering software updates that continually make the Shield TV better than before. The Shield is running the official android TV operating system meaning it will allow you to run application such as Netflix and YouTube in Full HD and a dedicated google app store specific to the device itself. 

Cons of the device: Not really a con per-say but this option is the priciest and would need to be looked at as an investment into your entertainment and streaming world
 recommendations:   Invest in a Bluetooth controller or upgrade to the package below for the official remote. 

Nvidia Sheild  (with Remote) $340 CAD
This is the same device as the above but comes with the official Nvidia gaming controller.
