Which PPF brand is actually the best or is it all just marketing talk?

I have been trying to research paint protection film for the last couple of weeks and honestly I am more confused now than when I started. Every shop I call tells me their brand is the best and the others are garbage, which obviously cannot all be true. I have heard names like XPEL, SunTek, 3M, Llumar and a few others but I have no idea which one actually holds up better in our climate. Some people say the film matters most, others say the installer matters more than the film, and a few say it is all the same stuff with different stickers. I drive a black BMW 5 Series and the paint shows every single scratch and swirl so I really want to get this right the first time. I found a page listing what they claim are the best paint protection films and it had some useful comparisons but I still want to hear from people who have lived with these films for a few years. My main concerns are yellowing, how easy it is to clean, and whether the film has a proper warranty that actually means something here. Also does a more expensive film really last longer or are you just paying for the name visit here https://paintprotectionfilm.ae/best-paint-protection-films. If you have had one brand on your car for two or three years please tell me how it is holding up because that is the kind of real feedback I need. Thanks in advance.
