Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There is only a single standard for 1-1/8" pressed in headsets, so just about any is fine.

The one area of concern is stack height, which does vary between brands and models. If you have more than 10m of spacers above or below your stem, no worries, you can adjust. But if you have very little or none in spacers, then you need to be careful about increasing the stack height.

With that caveat, it's about cosmetics and budget.
