What are some good options for compact, USB-C power banks with QC?

I'm looking for a quick charge power bank that would be comfortable to carry around in a pocket. Preferably one that supports USB-C. There doesn't appear to be very many options.

Here's a slim USB-C power bank that I really like the design of — https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...able-charger-Type-C-black.html&token=vhHVGkkN — but there's absolutely no mention of quick charging. It also has a great warranty — 18 months that can apparently be extended for a lifetime.

However, this is the only one I could find that explicitly mentions QC 3.0 support, has USB-C, and is pocketable — https://www.amazon.com/Portable-ROM...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6167573 — but I'm not familiar with the brand and it would only be a 12 month warranty with that unfamiliar brand vs an 18+ month warranty with a more familiar brand.

Is the Romoss the one to go for or are there other options? Will the Ravpower still charge my phone quickly or should I stick to something that explicitly mentions QC?

Alternatively, I could just not worry about USB-C and go with Anker, who I'm pretty comfortable with and then I'd have a couple more options – either https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerC...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6167573 or https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Ank...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6167573. That would lead me to another question, though. Which is more pocketable and comfortable to carry? Compact but thick or tall but slim?

Yeah, V30.

I'm just not sure that particular Ravpower charger supports QC. They do have another one that does, but isn't USB-C, but, in that case, I think I'd rather just choose one of the Ankers.

I got a 10,000 mAh Qi wireless powerbank for $29.99 from Amazon if that interests you. No QC. But I like that it keeps the phone topped off at my desk. Nice and slim too.
