Which Google Nest speakers and displays should I buy?

Google's Nest speakers and displays are the Google Home Speaker, Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max, Nest Audio and Nest Mini (2nd gen). The Google Home Speaker, Nest Hub (2nd gen) and Nest Hub Max are Matter hubs and Thread border routers, so any one of them can run Thread Matter devices such as locks and sensors.

The Nest Audio and Nest Mini (2nd gen) are Matter hubs too, but Google does not list them as Thread border routers.
