I don't have a favorite, but I also haven't found any that don't work.
The most recent one I got was a couple of years ago for accessing BLE
devices.  I kind of randomly picked one and it worked perfectly.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32769561310.html is the one I got.

Cheap devices often change their internals more often than their
descriptions on web sites.  I've had two identical appearing USB
devices from one order that had very different internals.   

I've had good experiences with devices from Plugable.   Note that
USB3 can create RF interference that affects BTLE, so it is best to
use a USB2 port.

Newer laptops typically use a combined WiFi +bluetooth card.  You 
might consider upgrading the internal card if it has and old bluetooth
chip.   There are lots of good wifi+BT cards pulled from name-brand
laptops as large enterprises upgrade to wifi6 (anticipating a return
to open plan elbows up workspaces) available these days.
