I'm curious about which portable solar panel works best for charging power banks. Is Anker the most reliable option when it comes to durability and charging capability, or are there other brands I should consider?

It largely depends on the brand, but honestly, a 100W panel from any reputable manufacturer will give you similar charging capabilities. Just shop around for one that's affordable but doesn’t seem too cheap to be true. You don't want to end up with something that feels like a scam!
The construction quality is really key here. Many portable panels on the market don't last long or aren't very efficient. While it was mentioned that '100W panels are the same,' that's not entirely accurate for portable models. I've had good experiences with Zoupw panels, though they might be a bit larger than you need.
I've recently tested the ECO-WORTHY 100W Bifacial Solar Panel against its non-bifacial counterpart, and surprisingly, the bifacial produced about 125W. This was just a side-by-side comparison without any gimmicks. They’re easy to handle, and I needed no extra gear or cables, which was a plus! Plus, the price difference wasn't too significant.
