I know I’m in the minority here but I would recommend an Esbits stove. Now for more than one person I would go with the group and recommend a canister stove.
I have used an older version of a MSR whisper lite, a cheap walmart version of a MSR pocket rocket and trangia alcohol stove. I normally just “cook” by adding hot water or boil in bag. If I’m boiling water for a group I will take the walmart canister stove. If I’m solo “cooking” I flip the trangia over and us a solid fuel tablet. Short of losing your fuel it’s hard to have a stove failure with solid fuel.
