You're right, I still got myself one because I haven't found a better way to use the surplus energy from my PV setup meaningfully.
Especially, since politics are planning to take additional fee's for selling them my "green energy".

For my understanding, I paid extra for the great noise levels which makes it feasible to put in into my living room and save a bit on heating.

In terms of setup:
Both are really easy to configure and get started to mine.
For Antminers, everything crucial and a bit more can be configured in the web interface.
For Avalon Q, there is only an Android/iPhone App with VERY limited configuration options.

If you want to manage your miner with a SmartHome solution, Antminers are way better as the Avalon Q lacks interfaces to interact with.
The real upside of the Avalon Q is the very low noise level. It's a home miner after all, where the Antminers are industrial miners and loud as f***.

So the question is: Where do u want to place your miner? Do u want to use the "waste heat" to heat up a room or two?

I "just" got into Bitcoin this year and also started to mine some BTC due to 3 points:

1. I wanted to learn more about BTC and how it works and also get into it the practical way
2. I do have a PV setup on my roof and therefore some free energy to spare
3. Our electricity supplier plans on taking fees for selling them the "green energy" from my PV setup so I searched for a way to "burn" the energy myself in a meaningful way

I got a Antminer S9 for 100 € and started to play around with home automation to switch it on/off depending on the energy produced.

ad 3.
That's the main reason I eventually bought a Avalon Q miner. The prices I get paid for my PV energy are dwindling anyway and with the additional network fees in the making there's no point in selling the energy.
Although the integration of the Avalon Q into my home automation looks rather difficult atm (due to the lack of SSH functionality).

I won't get rich with it, but I'm working into my own pockets instead the electricity suppliers pockets.

From my personal experience these are the hashrates at around 30°C room temp (+/- 5%):
Super: 95 TH/s
Standard: 80 TH/s
Eco: 55 TH/s

You can use whichever pool u like. Configured mine to viabtc with no problem.

Hashrates are from my experience roughly
Super: 95 TH/s
Standard: 80 TH /s
Eco: 55 TH/s

I have a question though - just got my Avalon Q this week and I was wondering if anyone was able to connect to it via ssh?
I tried all the default ports, but it refuses the connection with root user. Even if I had the right port, I don't have the root password either.
Or are there any other interfaces I could use for SmartHome Integration like HomeAssistant?
