If Amazon Prime Video is your primary OTT subscription, you can undoubtedly get the Fire Stick. The experience you get on the Fire Stick for Prime Video isn't available on other Android TV devices.

However, if you like casting a lot of content from mobile and Prime Video is not your primary OTT subscription, and you like to install apps from Play Store and are familiar with the Google Ecosystem, you can go with MI TV Stick or any other Android TV. The new Google TV interface would be available across the Android TV devices in 2021 if that's something of your concern.

Another point to note is that the Dolby audio on Fire TV Stick works without any issues on all the OTT apps where it's available. On Android TV hybrid boxes like XStream...

It Supports Miracast and Apple Air Play, so casting is not an issue if u want to cast your phones local content . Only issue is many OTT platforms doesn't support Miracast.

Firetv stick don't have Google play store...If u r comfortable with MI then Mi Box 4 will be better choice than Mi stick...
Firetv stick is very good ..If u r watching prime video mostly then surely go for firetv stick which have different firetv player specially made for prime video..

So now u have to decide...

I have been researching on this for a long time now. So I can share some of the other points that aren't mentioned above.
Alexa voice search results for movie titles covers more apps than the Google assistant voice remote.
Fire TV stick has playback control buttons (play, rewind, forward) whereas you need to rely on in app controls on Android TV devices.
The new live tv tab on the fire stick can be an alternative for dth provided you have an unlimited broadband connection and have the OTT subscriptions.
If there are kids too who normally watch, then the profile feature on Amazon fire TV stick, which has brilliant features like time limits, restrictions on particular apps, pin support could be a driving force towards favouring AFTV.

Few Info to be cleared....
Play forward buttons r not special in Firetv stick....Most remotes have it...It's related to app player...
There is no profile feature for FTS...Those r of App features...
Yes live TV is avail in FTS but zee5 app is not synchronizing....Still see doesn't give all live TV in the FTS...Only news channels avail if sync...I think better to go to the apps for live channels which is avail in all devices....
