very generally speaking:

VA is cheaper to manufacture, has higher contrast, and has deeper blacks. it's better than IPS for low-light situations (dark rooms). it has higher ghosting and black smearing (again, in general), which is not ideal for fast paced games.

IPS tends to be better for color accuracy and usually has a faster response time. it's the preferred panel for gaming. usually more expensive than VA.

there are exceptions to the rules, of course, like the samsung odyssey g7 (VA panel but one of the best for gaming). i recommend looking for reviews for the specific monitor in consideration, as generalizations can only go so far.

Not necessary. High end VA panels can be as good as IPS ones, or even better.

I'm in the same boat. On the fence between the 2.

The Costco one has USB ports but refresh rate isn't as fast this one. Also i think the Costco one came out in 2020 and this one in 2021.

Oh i think this generally comes with 1 year warranty but the Costco one comes with an additional year.

VA typically has better contrast than IPS, however IPS usually handles motion better.

I have this monitor. It's a beast and is great in all ways. It's not used for gaming though, so I can't comment on that.

Fantastic price. Only reason to go with Costco is if you are after the extended warranty (which you can't beat when it comes to Costco).

for office work, it doesn't really matter what panel you use. what might be important is pixel density so that the letters/numbers don't look too blurry and you can fit more into one screen.

one monitor feature that may or may not be beneficial is blue light filter to reduce strain on the eyes, since office work usually means extended screen time. it may help some people but to others, it might just be a marketing gimmick. one example is BenQ's Eye-Care.

Already bought the one in Costco. Knowing it's a curve one, I opt for the Costco warranty. I wish that one was 144hz too. But 100hz is not bad. I be two 28inch Asus 144hz that are now on the side of the LG Uwide. Literally no difference to me.
