Both models have 2GB of RAM (which is the same amount of RAM 4K Max has). Both devices have 8GB of onboard storage, about 4GB of which will be usable. Both of these devices run on Fire OS 8 (based on Android 11), so they still support side loading. Both devices have faster MediaTek MT8696D processor, compared to other models on the list.
Note: You can expand storage on most of these models using an OTG cable and a storage device of your choice (USB thumb drive being the easiest).
Why I would skip other models:
Fire TV Stick: Slow processor, and only 1Gb of RAM. Released in 2014, they really struggle nowadays.
Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Gen): Only 1.5Gb of RAM. Older Fire OS 6 (based on Android 7.1). About 30% slower processor than the 2nd Gen model.
Fire TV Stick HD: Only 1Gb of RAM and runs Vega OS, so no side loading. Tops out at 1080p.
Fire TV Stick 4K Select: Only 1Gb of RAM and runs Vega OS, so no side loading.
There are a few other differences in WiFi (5 vs 6) and Dolby support, but I don't find them as limiting, and this post is long enough.

I know the 4k Max Gen2 does.
Also the Plus and 2nd gen are the same thing, so you're just paying for refurb rating.

Almost to the point where they have to give them away for you to suffer through the ads, inability to use launchers, install third-party apps, etc.
