I generally like USB-PD, as you can generally plug in any PD compliant device into any PD compliant charger and it will charge. The connector doesn't even matter, PD works over Lightning and for example MagSafe as well.

What I found to be lacking are these multi-port charging bricks. They do a solid job at charging battery-powered devices, but most of them renegotiate the power contract with every connected device when you plug another one in or remove one. I tried multiple chargers by Anker, Ugreen and Belkin and they all do that. Apparently Apple's dual 35 watts USB-C charger doesn't, but manages to renegotiate without a momentary disconnect. It's only 35 watts though, so it's not practical for many use cases.
