Will all 2.5 Gbps USB-C adapters pretty-much perform the same?

I recently bought a Dell refurbished Dell Latitude 7430 (April 2022 model) which, annoyingly, does not come with an Ethernet port. There do not appear to be many choices for a 2.5 Gbps USB-C Ethernet adapter (which is fine). My current options (with current cheapest UK prices) appear to be: £16 - Ugreen UG-USBC-25052 (https://eu.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter) (Jul 2023) £17 - TP-Link UE302C (www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/usb-ethernet-adapter/ue302c/) (Nov 2024) £23 - StarTech U2GA (www.startech.com/en-us/networking-io/u2ga-usb-c-ethernet) (Feb 2025) £24 - Anker A83160A1 (www.anker.com/products/a83160a1-f0) (June 2021) I presume they will all work the same, so just base it on price / aesthetics?
