While there are tons of excellent USB-C hubs out there, finding good docking stations for Chromebooks is a little more tricky, as the video output situation on docks is usually geared toward Windows and Mac.

Do you just need to connect a monitor? If you already have a wireless mouse/keyboard you're using and need to add on a monitor, you can save yourself some money by just getting a USB-C to HMDI adapter if you're not purchasing a USB-C-enabled monitor.

Are you connecting more than two things to your computer? Most Chromebooks have only one or two USB-A ports, so if you need to connect a mouse, keyboard, and a USB microphone for those Zoom meetings and online classes, you'll want a docking station to be sure you have enough USB-A ports for all your normal peripherals, plus at least one spare USB-A port for an external drive or thumb drive should you need to access an old.

Are multiple computers going to be using this workstation? Are you making a workstation that you and your kids can all use in turn for homework, paying bills, and maybe some light gaming? Then you'll want either a dock or USB-C hub, and you'll want to opt for wired peripherals so that you don't have to re-pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with each person's computer.

Which one do you need? Well, that depends on you and how much you're connecting: However, that's okay because all USB-C Chromebooks can add on a secondary screen via a USB-C hub, docking station, or a USB-C to HDMI adapter. While most of the best Chromebooks have ample USB ports for plugging in all your peripherals, HDMI is becoming harder and harder to find on Chromebooks.
