If you want to stick with a cohesive lighting plan, hue is the best. They use higher quality LEDs and components. They rarely have weird issues, but you really need a hue bridge because Bluetooth sucks. Hue is Bluetooth without bridge, and zigbee with a bridge. I believe the TP Link are WiFi.
I have bought my hue over the years when they're discounted. I've only had two bulbs fail ever. They all continue to work well with HomeKit and dynamic scenes in the hue app. My mom has hue everywhere, and her lamps just operate on timed automations daily without me having to do tech support.
Onvis makes a reasonably priced HomeKit strip on Amazon. I don't know anything about that one, but might be worth a look.

I built a large covered patio (35X20) with an internal perimeter ledge for led strip lights. Started with TP Link, didn't like it. Moved to Hue light strips, but truly need a diffuser. I'm finally going to give in and get the hue 5M outdoor light strips. Hue just works. Installed stirps in my kitchen at least 5 years ago and they have worked flawlessly ever since. Bulbs all over the house.
Expensive, but I prefer Hue hitting my hue hub rather than showing up on my wifi device list.
3rd party apps is another. I highly recommend the OnSwitch mobile app. It's been just as reliable for that many years and is far better than anything else I've used, including Hue's apps.

The gradient product is newer and more expensive, but also has more features and a better diffuser if I remember correctly.
