A good recommendation needs to know a bit more about your use case
and expectations.
The Adafruit chip is several generations old (MT3333?), and the built-in
antenna is no good inside a building. You want a newer chip that does
multi constellations, and has an antenna connector. The Adafruit has a
u.fl conenctor, I much prefer SMA.

Uputronics makes good HATs:
https://store.uputronics.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_64
NEO-M8Q for 44 Pounds, ZED-F9P for 240 Pounds. They have good support
and fast ship to USA.
Also common to get a GPS on a breakout board and jumper it to the Pi.
Sparkfun has a lot of models:

Abay is often the besst place to look. Here is an interesting new part:

The MAX-M8Q is good, not great.

You have to call them direct. Minimum order quantity is non-trivial.
YOu see them on etsy and ebay when somoeone buys a case of them.
