The CCwGTV 4k does do Atmos and HDR, the Onn does only up to DD+ and faux HDR w/ no HLG. Not sure on 10bit, didn't really try but they do HD 10 bit.
The google remote sucks for usability, the Onn remote will flake and lose connectivity but is WAY nicer to use d2d.
The Onn will hardware decode AV1, the 4k CCwGTV will not. The new HD CCwGTV will though.
So if you don't need advanced audio formats (you can stream them raw to the receiver) and want AV1 hardware decode then the
Onn is the best of the worst players (pricewise) because they both have low RAM and low storage on board. You can use OTG to expand both of them and add a dongle for wired ethernet.

As for HDR, not sure what you mean by faux HDR, seems to work fine on my 4k Bedroom TV, but I'm not overly concern with that stuff on secondary TVs and most people won't really care even on primary TV.
Low RAM isn't an issue for streaming, but for gaming the low RAM may be a problem...YMMV...but for hard core gamers I probably wouldn't suggest these lower priced boxes in general.

The second gen still has Bluetooth issues with the remote and in general.
I use my device for game streaming with moonlight and sunshine and I will say that if you want a stable Bluetooth connection avoid the onn box.
When using onn box with a DS4 controller it stops communicating constantly and will eventually just completely freeze and reset the box. Bluetooth on the Chromecast 4K works great though
