Even their cheap $15 Connect 3GB plan has full priority data which is a huge bonus for such a cheap plan. This means if you want the absolute best from T-Mobile, you want to get a plan directly from them. QCI 6 is applied to all of T-Mobile's postpaid and prepaid plans (except for Essentials) and Google Fi which also has QCI 6 as well. Whatever you do stay away from the T-mobile Essentials plans, those are as slow as Metro. I switched from Metro to this plan and it was a dramatic improvement in some areas (crowded shopping centers with any number of bars and the rare 1 bar situations in semi rural areas). The plus is it's full priority data, never de-prioritized in any way. When you run out of data on these plans you still can call and text and use wifi, you just don't have data for other apps if you aren't on wifi. (tax not included, hotspot data pulls from the main data bucket)

Keep in mind it's a hard limit so you want a slight buffer for what ifs.

If you can live with less than 12GB data per month per phone I'd do one of these.
