Who has the best 6ft/2m non-Apple iPhone Charging Cables?

So there used to be a lot of love for Banggood rep posting Blitzwolf lightning cable deals but since 2-3 years ago, I've found that those deals have essentially died out. My original Blitzwolf cables are starting to die after 1-2 years and I was trying to figure out if they are still as good as they used to be? I tried out Titan cables but they have been duds, dying out after a month and even though i will try to chase them for their "lifetime" warranty, I'd still prefer to just cables that I know I can trust without the Apple premium. My usual go to is a 6ft or 10ft (2-3m) cable as my powerpoints are in pretty inconvenient locations and down near the floor. i only keep a couple of 1m for use in the car or at work so I don't have a need for those.

So question, do I go back to Banggood for the Blitzwolf cables (last checked they were under $20 for a 2m cable) or is there something else someone has had good experiences with that I should give a go? Anyone with the newer Blitzwolf cables that has had bad experiences that might indicate that they haven't kept up their historical quality? I know Anker had high quality previously but came in at higher price point compared to Blitzwolf. Also seen some other deals recently from Haribol on Amazon and Chotech. Are they any good? Hard to tell from the comments as not many people are coming back to provide feedback.

Thanks for any insight you can provide in advance!

      +1 for Anker.

      I’ve had a 6ft Anker Powerline II USB-A to Lightning cable for four years and it’s still going strong. Definitely worth the extra money I paid for it.

        Yep, Order placed 23 June 2017 and still in use daily today with same Anker wall plug too. Also replaced all lightning cables at home, car, parents, friends etc with the same Anker braided one. Not a single one has failed across many devices over the years.

        There's really no need to look elsewhere.

    I once bought a DuPont Kevlar aramid fibre armoured cable from Big W for +$20. Thought it would be strong enough to last. Died after 8 months so I got a refund and bought a McDodo lightning cable off ebay for about $10. I liked it as it had auto-shutoff so I can recharge overnight without overcharging. Still going after 2 years. I figure a few cheap cables that last a few years are better than an expensive one that could die shortly after warranty.

    TBH Lighting cable has design issue from Apple. Even my original one wont last too long.

    I'd use genuine Apple personally. Never had a third party that lasted, though I haven't tried third party for many years now. I'd think that good third party cables are fine now but I wouldn't want to lose sleep over a few dollars difference in price.

    I’ve been using the new Anker PowerLine III USB-A to Lightning Cable for the past couple of months. Works great so far. It’s a new release so can’t comment on durability.

    I'm using a Blitzwolf (from Banggood) 1.8m braided lightning cable and a Tronsmart (from GeekBuying) 3m lightning cable in different areas of my house. Haven't had any issues with either so far.

    Anker. Lifetime warranty for peace of mind as well.
