Which is the best for all around use?

Roku.

But it isn't perfect, because no Kodi.

I have everything except Apple TV. I use Roku for my heavy lifting streaming. I have a Firestick for Kodi (we're really just trying/learning Kodi with the Firestick). I have a Chromecast for travel. With a Chromecast, you use your phone or tablet to push content to the HDMI port - it doesn't do much of the lifting at all. Fire stick is also stunted, although it does fairly well for what it is.

Amazon also has Fire TV boxes comparable to Apple TV or Roku.

I said Roku at the top, but the really best for all around use is a HTPC. That's more than most people want and overkill for mere streaming.
