I'm planning to buy a few new board and wanted a recommendation. I have a NodeMCU v0.9 and Wemos D1 that I've tinkered with (both ESP-12). I was debating whether to go NodeMCU v2 or D1 mini but then I saw the D1 pro has a better antenna. The price is similar for all, I was just hoping to hear which is the most reliable/stable, compatibility considerations, etc.

I have had great luck with all forms of the 8266 except for a few esp-01 from china. The d1s are good for stacking shields of course, and the nodemcu are great for I/O. I generally just run esp-12 bare.
For what it's worth. Good luck.

Oh wow. I assumed the antenna was just an optional plug in type item. If not installed, it would just utilize the inboard antenna. I have some of those smd antenna connectors I considered for another project, but the smd resistors are rediculously small. I got one stuck to my soldering iron years ago and it was a challenge removing it in a usable way (didn't, cooked it).
I think I'll stick to the mini then.
