The only problem with BigQuery is that it's on GCP, so either you have to migrate your whole workload over or you end up eating a lot of data transfer costs.

Having used both I do think BigQuery is better in a lot of ways (although it's easier to make it a lot expensive too), but I'm really excited to see Redshift catch up. Adding the serverless options are really great too since my biggest complaint with Redshift was managing the quantity and type of the underlying instances.

I have not used it, but my understanding is that BigQuery Omni is "BigQuery running on AWS/Azure". My understanding is that they are running Anthos on AWS (managed by Google) and they offer BigQuery as a service from that AWS infra managed by Google.
