Recommendations for Buying Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth Combo Chips/Cards

[Injury]

Just wondering what recommended things to look for when buying Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth combo chips/cards. I know atleast one thing to look for is that they should be recognized as things like "Airport Extreme" in System Information, rather than "3rd party card"'s for best compatibility, but I'm also interested in what cards/chips can specifically be recommended. I'm looking for something that can support AirDrop. Also, are all Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth combo chips/cards supported out of the box for OS X/macOS, or only some/selective few? And if so, which/what are they?

For Windows, what do you do for the drivers?

Use boot camp drivers , if you go to eBay and contact the seller he will give you a link to download drivers. I have used this for a few weeks it just works, I don't lose connection anymore, as I did with usb dongle, and it finds new blue tooth devices much faster.

I have that card, and in Windows the Bluetooth is working perfectly, but for the life of me, the Device Manager cannot find the update for the Wifi from these folders.
