I also have a few domains on Google, but I’m actually not a huge fan it. Aside from it being slightly more expensive, outside of the domain search UI, I find the UI for managing a domain clunky, and confusing. I’d imagine it would be easier to use if I were more bought in to the Google ecosystem (e.g. GSuite) as there are tons of options for integrating your domain with google services whether or not you use them. However, I only use google domains, and all of the stuff they’re pointing at are on other services (Digital Ocean, ProtonMail, etc.) so most of the management UI for me is just noise. Because of that, along with most of my stuff being on DO, I just have them all pointed to to DO’s nameservers, and I do all my management through DO’s DNS service (which is free) and don’t have to use google’s UI after setting the nameservers. DO’s UI is quite a bit cleaner and easier to use (in my opinion), and the tight integration with DO’s other networking tools (API access for LetsEncrypt and Floating IPs mostly) is just a nice plus.

I’ll (hopefully remember to) switch my domains over to (probably) namecheap as it’s usually the most recommended one in these threads to save a few bucks a year when it comes time to renew them.
