Hey Wafflejock! Good to hear from you! Hope you are staying safe!
I a few 5" birds; Impulse Alien, Impulse Reverb, 2 Skyeliners, AstroX v2, Stingy V1 and a Chameleon. My Chameleon is shelved (haven't used it in over a year). My go-to is the Reverb. Probably because I have it tuned perfectly to my liking. Honestly I would recommend any of the above frames. The key for me was building them with the components that I preferred. I'm primarily a Kiss guy but recently installed the Brain FC on the AstroX and like it as well. It's still Betaflight though. I just find BF more complex in tuning... far too many options.
I am starting to lean towards all-in-1's now as I seem to go through a lot of Kiss ESC's (only the 32 amps though.. 24 amps are very tough). I just ordered an Apex frame (supposed to arrive today) and will build that out with Kiss as well. But I always carry the GoPro because I like the quality of footage. I have only wrecked 1 GoPro to date (knock on wood)... I ALWAYS put on the lens protectors and have cracked a bunch of those. They really do help for the most part. Anyway I hope this helps you.
