I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS.

You don't need a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole. You can run it in Docker. AdGuard Home is an alternative to Pi-hole. Source: about 1 year ago
However, personally I recommend a selfhosted variant like PiHole or Adguard Home, which offer both network wide adblocking. The latter offers an easier setup and features out of the box. Source: over 1 year ago
You might also consider running AdGuard Home locally and pointing your devices to that instead. Then you can run any DNS server and still have adblocking. There is also Control D as an alternative to the AdGuard DNS servers if you don't want to run a local resolver. Source: over 1 year ago
