I went through this process in August 2017 when I bought a MBP. I bought a combo adapter that suports power, 3 x USB, ethernet, HDMI, a couple of memory cards for cameras, a USBc. It runs quite warm. As I do not want to have a spider web of cables I also bought a simple UBBC to ethernet connector as I do not want to be dependant on the multi device for use at home. I also bought a Sandisk high speed SD reader so that I can very rapid transfer of images ino the MBP. This device is very fast coompared to the card reader on the combo adapter. The combo adapter has the name Juiced on it, is it any better or different to the other similarly shaped devices that are available - I do not know. The tehernet adapter is a Belkin, it remains at home to connect the MBP.
Could I have got a similar result with only one device yes, but in some sitiutations it would be slower, in other cases it might get lost and I would be somewhat restricted. The multi device works well for getting iimages to the projector at the local Apple group meetings.
