I have tried Anker, OWC, and Plugable. They were all hot garbage.
All do not provide consistent charge, instead the power to the host drops when you attach peripherals. IT SUCKS WHEN YOU'RE ON THE PLANE, EXPECT 100% BATTERY AND ONLY HAVE 30%.
My laptop is my livelihood, and I don't like interruptions. Especially, if it is a dock. I am willing to spend a bit more for peace of mind. Plus, their support is exceptional, and helped me out of a few jams.
And CalDigit was by far the best. No hassles, no nonsense, no need to unplug and replug external displays to get them to rewake (huge issue with our Wavlinks and no, it wasn't using DisplayLink). The CalDigit was the one that "just worked". No devices disconnecting, no PD issues, nothing. It just worked.
So yeah, if you want the best, the CalDigit is it. We were also able to work out a good price with them directly because we needed 25 units. And their sales and support team are reachable by phone and they are all US based in California and they are totally awesome.

If you're going to have 1 video out, I'd hope it'd be a DisplayPort.
but if it's literally just the monitor, then get a monitor that has more than one video input and put one computer into each. then just swap between VIDEO1 and VIDEO2 on the monitor,
I think these are good options because PC companies sometimes lock TB features, so it works specifically with their docks. For example I had an XPS for work, and Dell had locked 98 watts of power delivery.
I am on Mac most of the time, and the TS3 Plus has worked really well for me.
After networking breaking (ethernet), I bought a TB4, and it's amazing.

Otherwise, excellent dock. 100% reliable.
