So doing some homework I found this, which suggests:

  • ZBDongle-P - Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
  • ZBDongle-E - Matter and ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT still experimental

Apparently, the former is the Dongle Plus, while the latter is the Dongle Plus V2. So, despite the letters, the -E is the newer one.

All of which means, the -E seems the best option for me.
