The link you provided tests many difference. Almost all show that PLA+ is the same and in one case, worse then PLA. The tests also show that PLA+ is different in one regard... it behaves more like PETG in that it does not bend and then breaks, it simply breaks at a higher force without bending.
If you want to spend twice as much as certain PLA+ brands, feel free to do so. I'd simply recommend saving money and printing with PETG.
From the brands above, Sunlu and Elegoo are generally the most affordable and more so on deal. You will generally get better pricing if buying the 4 or 5 packs (Amazon frequently runs deals on these) and obviously 10kg bundles. I'm not sure how the pricing will be in the future with tarrifs as Polymaker & Elegoo both announced pricing will be going up with polymaker already doing so. I'm sure other brands will be following as most are from China. I prefer Elegoo over Sunlu.
If just starting, I'd recommend using PLA which is the easiest to print and then trying PETG.
Good luck and enjoy the hobby! It can get really addictive

Tl;dr sorta like they're pushing some required software and people don't like being told what to do, but it's what most of us use anyway.

Thanks! I much prefer the ability to mix and match colors and filament types. I picked up some PLA+ and Rapid PETG including some on silk, matte, and multicolor.
I ordered 10KG of the PLA+ white [elegoo.com] (same price as the white Rapid PLA+ [elegoo.com]) and black at $105 [elegoo.com] ($5 less than the black Rapid PLA+ [elegoo.com]). In my experience the difference between these two is small, but I opted for the PLA+. I print a lot for my kids and the PLA+ is a bit better for me.
