I just bought a high end Anker multi-port USB/PD brick and a collection of Nomad USB cables (C-C, A-C, and one that's C-C but includes C-A adaptors for both ends). To be fair, the only places I've consistently had issues with cables are the [shared] kitchen charging station the whole family uses every day (laptop, ipad, phone, watch, kindle) and in the car for Android Auto & Car Play. I've never had a cable fail on my desk. The new stuff I bought is to upgrade the brick in the kitchen with higher power delivery on multiple ports, and to replace a failing cable in my car. As a guy using a 16" MacBook Pro, having a multi-port adaptor that can adequately charge the laptop while also charging a phone is helpful.
