I’m brewing beer from fresh wort using a kit, and I’m fermenting under pressure in a FermZilla.
So, I switched to a Fermzilla with floating diptube and pressure transfer, which allowed me to dump the hops directly into the beer.
Now I have a larger fermzilla for my intense dry hopping needs.
I actually just picked up a Fermzilla since I was tired of not getting full kegs and I brew for a lot of events so beer clarity is important to me. ... It's so easy for me to collect yeast and pitch into my next batch now so I'm saving money on yeast and pitching better yeast to boot.
I used Flotit 2.0 on kegs but also in my fermzilla.

Corny kegs are stainless, hold pressure, and are cheap. With a blow-off tube, these are best fermenters for your money.
Or you can also ferment in corny kegs.
Don’t try to save on money going with this mini-keg setup – it’s an expensive and inherently less cost effective route than corny kegs, etc.
The kegs aren't that annoying to clean imo, unless you have big forearms, in which case you may need a long cleaning device to get in there.
Fermenting in cornies is an absolute cunt to clean, so I don't recommend it
