Choosing the right tripod can be exhausting with all the available brands and options, I asked the same question around 2012, got all sort of recommendations and followed none, so, I went to the store web site , select the maximum weight, I picked 5kg x 2 roughly 20lbs, then select the type of head, type of legs, material, etc ...
Picked an off brand tripod - flashpoint is the brand - carbon fiber, with a ball head (arca swiss comaptible), I have traveled all over, dropped it on volcanic rock, get it wet in the ocean, use in really dusty conditions and it is still serving me well , I think I spent about $300 dollars on it, but I do not see that particular tripod online anymore although there are similar alternatives
sorry this is not much help , but wanted to share my experience, only you know what characteristics are more convenient for you
