That is hard to answer since you didn't mention what you are looking to do with it but I will do my best...

Mainly looking to stream content online?

TiVo Stream 4K

Mainly to stream content and maybe try Stadia later?

You need to also stream content locally (aka Plex Server) and/or want to do a lot of Android game playing?

Shield TV Pro

You have another TiVo product and use Sling TV?

I would avoid the Mi devices as it's a Chinese box and are known to be real buggy.

The Chromecast with Google TV is going to be the best answer in most cases. It will get the newest version of Android TV first and will have a good software support lifecycle.
