Firebase Cloud Messaging, mostly because it's free and I'm already in the Google ecosystem. What bothers me: notifications that show 'sent' in the console but never actually arrive on certain devices, especially with OEM background restrictions on Android, you get zero visibility into why, the console just lies to you about delivery success.

the phantom delivery status is the worst, makes debugging feel like voodoo
