Firesticks and Rokus are garbage, and even the Fire Cube (yes, I have them all) can't compare to the shield. I even hacked mine so that I can press the nextflix button a short press and open plex. Long press, open netflix and double click it, and it opens hulu.
Firestick 4k Max: Best bang for your buck streamer. Can be found on sale for around $35.
Pros:
Affordable
Supports every iteration of HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG)
AV1 support
Can play Youtube HDR
Can sideload apps (Kodi, etc.)
Wifi 6
Cons:
UI is ad-supported
Needs additional hardware to run ethernet and increase storage
No bitstreaming of HD audio
Occasionally needs to be rebooted
Apple TV 4K: Best pure streamer. 2021 model can be found on sale for $120-$130
Pros:
Very fluid UI. Fastest, smoothest navigation
No ads (mostly) There is autoplay enabled to some of their music video selection
Airplay 2. If you have Airplay 2 devices this makes multi room audio incredibly easy
Gigabit Ethernet
Cons:
Locked down to apple's ecosystem (No Kodi, etc.)
No usb ports for storage or game controllers
No HDR10+
No AV1 support
No Youtube HDR
Nvidia Shield: Swiss-army knife of streamers. Can be found on sale for $170
Pros:
Great for game emulators
64 bit Android (can run Dolphin emulator, Kodi 64 bit, etc)
Has usb ports for storage, game controllers, webcams, etc
Can sideload apps (Kodi, etc)
Can use Google Duo with supported webcam
Can run Plex server
Can run Channels DVR server
Bitstreams HD audio
AI upscaling (I do not have this version)
Gigabit ethernet
Cons:
Ad-supported
Last update introduced many issues (I did not update)
No HDR10+
No Youtube HDR
Occasionally needs to be rebooted
I'm sure I missed a few things but this is a general idea. I have a use case for all three streamers so I have them all connected to my main display. It really comes down to personal use case. I'm personally hoping NVidia upgrades the Shield to support AV1, HDR10+ and Youtube HDR. That would eliminate my need for the Firestick 4K Max. Being able to have the game on and airplay to other rooms makes the Apple TV 4K a keeper to me.
Hope this helps

Not only that, it will essentially take control of your entire entertainment center (Receiver/TV) so you don't need any other remotes except the one on your phone.
Unless you wanna switch inputs on the TV or Receiver.
The Shield UI before and after recent launcher changes is also less user friendly for my family members, though I could fix that by replacing the launcher. I did buy ButtonMapper to remap the Netflix button, and that was nice (the Netflix button is much easier to accidentally press than the channel buttons on Roku remotes), but it stopped working at some point and I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot.
I love the headphone jack in the Roku remote -- works much better than Bluetooth on the Shield which is unreliable. Though granted I could probably connect a USB device to the Shield to work around that (e.g. headphones that have their own transmitter or a better Bluetooth transmitter).
The only things I occasionally use the Shield for is game streaming from my PC which works ok, and I occasionally use Kodi. I connected 2TB drive, the issue is when I try to transfer a big batch of files over the network, the Roku disconnects. For those use cases, I'd be much better served with cheap mini PC. I just got a Steam Deck, and planning to give it a try for those use cases (while docked).
I want to like the Shield TV Pro, and there are some things are quite nice with it and its very versatile. I could probably get more out of it if I spend more time hacking it and troubleshooting the issues, and I'm a technical user who could do such things, but I just haven't spent the time to do it, and even if I did I'm not sure I'd trust it to keep working so I wouldn't switch my family members to it. Meanwhile, our Roku Ultras just work and we can watch content without issue. If I had to try another TV product line with the intention of getting something my whole family could use, it would be Apple TV (which does do auto refresh rate switching and apps available are decent enough).
BTW I believe Amazon Fire TV devices do auto refresh rate switching. I've never used one.

That beta feature is a step in the right direction, but it's still something that has to be manually triggered. But at least you don't have to know the frame rate of the content you are viewing, which you would need to know if you were manually setting refresh rate, and it's good that it switches back afterwards. Hopefully they can make this fully automatic in the near future.
fire sticks are childs toys.

I won a Shield Pro but there are too many responses in this thread that seem to bash everything less "powerful". All I can say that everyone's use case is different - and in your case, you should be good with your Fire TV stick.
Now, if you want to have a good transcoding hardware for your Plex server without setting up a HTPC, then let's talk.
