Cold card is going to show you what the actual circuit board looks like. I got angst against Bitbox because they have misinformation articles about air gaps. Things like version management for firmware upgrades, the idea of NOT updating your firmware unless its a major security patch and even then only after non-company reviewers have had a chance to look at it, is something that goes completely over their heads.
Went with coldcard. I wonder why no one mentioned Blockstream Jade...

Because you didn't mention Blockstream Jade XD
Jade has bluetooth. Whereas with cold card you can snip the NFC wire on the board, your only option with Jade is install firmware that doesn't include instructions for how to make the bluetooth device function. Maybe if you look at DIY Jade, you can rectify that issue.
Passport is another option that's out there, since you're looking for more device suggestions, and I would second the Krux suggestion made by drfred.
