I purchased their PETG which is also incredibly cheap and it's been fine for me outside of needing to be dried. It's been wound nicely and seems to function with the AMS well. I have read that some people have issues with receiving broken spools, I believe.

I am still new to this and it gas been just 6 months with my elegoo neptune 3 pro. I have used elegoo, overture and sunlu filaments. I have never dried them. Being in Central FL where it rains a lot does that means I should always dry my filament irrespective or are.there symptoms which I need to watch out for ? With central air condition my inside humidity is always around 60 to 65%.

Every filament is unique in how quickly it absorbs moisture. Additionally, some manufacturers take extra steps to make sure their filaments are shipped out dry. You're more likely to see issues with less expensive filaments, but there are many types that you really should always be in the habit of drying. With PLA, it usually should arrive dry enough to give you quality prints, but if you're getting the bargain stuff near $10/kg, it's more likely to have issues with being dirty, wound poorly, or needing to be dried.
Edit:
Two common signs of wet filament are a noise being made as the hot end burns off the moisture or if your prints are stringing a lot.
