Quest 2 - it's the most obvious recommendation to anyone given the Index's thumbstick woes. Quest 2's only real downside is the higher performance demands on the PC and tiny input lag and lower quality image, all because it has to encode its video. But otherwise you're getting an excellent device, with the excellent controllers, with wireless PC play and a proper standalone portable experience for only $300. 

If the Index were a straight-up better purchase then I would have kept mine. I actually use a Rift S for PC VR but that's due to the issues I mentioned at the start. Quest 2 should be the recommendation to anyone interested in VR. Index has some great upsides but is totally undermined by controllers with awful ergonomics and constant RMAs.
