I'd go for the Rhinowares personally. Always found the pentagonal bit of the Porlex to be a pain, handle flying off is relatively common (though they may have addressed this issues recently, mine is about 10 years old at this point). Rhino feels much easier to use and has a hex bit, so popping a drill on there is simple if you fancy it. Rhino can't go fine enough for espresso while the Porlex can though. Hario hand grinders generally have the same penta-bit issues as the Porlex, probably the only bit of Hario's range I'd actively disuade people from.

If anyone finds the pentagonal bit on the Porlex a problem, I have a penta-to-hex converter I'm not using.
It's intended for driving it with a drill or electric screwdriver, but you could probably just stick a regular hex ratchet on there.

I just got the Porlex Tall II to replace my old one, pentabit gone, much sturdier and higher quality burrs too, works really well...

Forum approved hand grinder? For pour-over and aeropress, can't bring myself to go down the home espresso rabbit hole.
I've got £75 to spend at amazon (boo, hiss). Is the porlex mini the obvious choice, or are there cheaper, equally acceptable options (hario skerton for eg)?
