Powered USB-C hub recommendations?

I use and swear by this hub at work:

https://i-tec.pro/en/produkt/u3chargehub16-2/

It is easily the best usb hub I’ve ever encountered… 16 ports, powered, individual switches for each port.  Very useful for debugging and development.  They have a USB-C version too, but more than likely you’ve got USB3.0< devices to use too.  

Anyway I can definitely vouch for i-tec hubs… we have them all over the place now, they’ve become the standard company hub and has smoothed out a lot of issues we were having during development with power brownouts, bad enumeration, and so on.

Some external USB-C disks, audio interface, USB-C mike, Komplete MIDI keyboard, charging an iPad etc… basically I’m going over what the internal PSU’s of my displays can deliver and I momentarily lose a USB hub (have to unplug / plug). It even means that I’ve had one of the webcams in the LG display disappear in the middle of a video call when my Time Capsule HDD started backup-ing :)
