Probably will depend on what you plan to put on it.

Look here for current models: https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/best-gimbal-heads-for-tripods

Ebay has a used Nest (they don't make it anymore) that I am tempted to buy to go with the one I have had for years for a second camera and just in case something happens to mine. It says it has signs of wear and is "sticky", it came in two versions, one with lub for warm weather and one for cold weather. After sitting for a while my warm weather model will get sticky, I just move it around, rotate everything a few turns, and it loosens right up. My local store with repair department tells me their guy has lubed a couple if I need it done.

The US importer closed, but I read somewhere that the Chinese company still makes it under various names for other countries, and sometimes a seller in the US will get a few.

I, too, have the Neewer graphite gimbal head. Reasonable in price and lightweight. Love it. Cyber Monday deal on Amazon $80.00.
