NexGuard does well for mine. Haven't seen a flee or tick on him since I switched.

Trifexis is what I use with my Aussie. Flea and heartworm preventative all at once. He has never had fleas.
1 in 3 Aussie Shepherds are allergic to heartworm medicine baw. It can kill them

I'm a former Trifexis user. It's an all-in-one, given monthly. However, it can be make your pet ill (vomiting), so it might not be for every dog. I switched to ...
Bravecto. Administer it once every 3 months, although it can probably last a little longer.
Note, you'll have to buy a separate heartworm medicine. I use Heartgard Plus (given monthly).
I buy my pet medicine online through a company out of Australia. It takes about 2.5 weeks to receive once order is placed.
It is about 30 to 40 % less expensive than buying in the states.
Pet-i-Supply
I echo everything you typed. One of my dogs was always susceptible to throwing up Trifexis.
I've now switched my dogs over (for a year now) to Bravecto and use Heartguard Plus purchased from pet-i-supply. Have yet to have any of my dogs throw up Bravecto and it works great.
I used to go through hell with keeping fleas off my dogs when using topical stuff, and dips. I switched to the oral pills years ago and haven't had a problem since.

1) What kind of dog do you have?
2) Have you treated your yard?
3)do you have a lot of trees in your yard
4) How wet does your yard stay
5) What are you feeding your dog
The reason I ask, is because I have fund that dogs that have thick coats ....or double coat like Pugs suffer down here. You can give them Advantix or Revolution and it only helps moderately.
I find that yards with a lot of tree cover that take a long time to drain out create more problems for dogs even with treatment
Also, I use dinovite for my dogs.....it really does help especially with the scratching and the oils on the coat from the result are not as attractive to fleas and ticks

We used monthly heartguard and our lab tested positive for heartworms a few years ago. After treatment he was fine. Heartguard is effective on the larval stage, and doesn't work after that. Some research has indicated that heartworms are evolving to have a shorter larval stage and the monthly heartworm dose may miss the window of effectiveness. We give it to our dogs every two weeks now and have had no more problems.
