My brother is a home theater project manager, and he generally likes Roku the best since they can integrate it easier (or something). But they just feel cheaper to me overall. And I have a pretty standard 5.1 setup (hopefully adding Atmos soon), so the AppleTV works great in my setup.
I really like the original 4K remote. It lets you zoom around the interface so fast.
He's right! Roku is soooo easy to integrate...you just plop in the IP and give it permission and you're good to go. They have GREAT drivers for every system I have experience with.
The biggest downside of Roku is the gigantic ads on the home screen. To get rid of those you need to do some router config which can be annoying (or impossible in some situations) but when I use it I don't spend much time outside of apps
