Nike Alpha fly/streak fly - I discount the Vaporfly as while they’re very nice the soles don’t last at all. Nikes returns policy is very good too (as long as you buy direct from Nike), I had a pair of alphaflys that got a puncture last week after about 180k, walked into Nike and got an instant refund, would have had a replacement if they had any at the same price but not wanting to spend an extra 150 on alphaflys 2s at the moment.
Not much tops these two across a wide range of speeds and distances for me.
If running really hard the ASICS metaspeed sky is top choice for me, but for me that’s <3:45 per km that they are really amazing and they seem to stall at slower spees for my mid foot gait.

My current vaporflys have 500km on them and still going strong - I think the flyknit uppers make a big difference too and the sole unit seems to hold together better (I have others which were knackered after 250-300km)
Really wasn’t a fan of the streakfly - I found them a bit of a nothing shoe tbh so interested to hear what you liked about them.

What's the current hotness for running shoes that will mainly do 5 and 10k runs on tarmac?
Possibly a weekly half marathon if I can get my distance up without knackering something.
I've been running in Adidas Solar Boost for years, but it looks like they're old-hat now.
