^This is a really cool Z-Wave one that I use for lighting, as it supports dimming. Works awesome in HA. I have some lights hooked up to it outside for hanging at night, as well as inside, as no-one put ceiling lights in the living room of the house I'm renting. Just make sure your LEDs are dimmable of course. I still haven't found a different dimmable zigbee/zwave smart plug, though I haven't looked after I found that one.

I use those ^ for everything else. Zigbee of course, wifi plugs suck to set up and don't do the mesh thing. Power monitoring opens you up for some super clever automations. I have my Xbox plugged into one, and when the plug notices the Xbox turns on, my IR blaster turns on the TV. I also have my TV plugged into one, so HA knows when the TV is on.
