I use both Sengled and Innr bulbs with zha. Mqtt worked well with these also.
No issues from the few models I have from both. Innr has a decently bright tone controllable bulb, 270 series I think, easily the brightest I have. 260 series are bright enough and super cheap at about $7.50 each in packs.
Chiming in to let people know that SengLED bulbs do not act as repeaters and are thus the worst bulbs you can use to build a Zigbee network.
The positive for Sengled is the option of some sizes that I've not found in other brands.
My recommendation is based on use case. Not every device needs to be a router, and OP might be perfectly fine with this.
It is good to know, but I'd not call them the worst since they still are inexpensive and function in all other ways well for my needs.
