I'd recommend staying away from the 8266s at this point. The chip is EoL and the ESP32 offers double the speed, more than double the IO pins, and bluetooth. The 8266 is limiting with its single ADC pin, and single hardware serial and inability to define other pins for I2C/SPI.

I started with the 8266s thinking I wouldn't need the extra features, and most of my applications don't need it, but the few times I needed to work around the limitations weren't worth the aggravation to save $1-2.
