We have both Fire Stick and Roku. We use the Fire Sticks and Fire TV's daily. I like the ability to install any streaming program on the fire devices. If you know how you can put non-amazon apps on the fire devices. They are reliable and easy to use once you become acclimated to the UI.

Roku does not allow the user to jailbreak their device so easily, We have Roku in the guest bedrooms in our home these tv's aren't used much. We purchased them when we cut the cord. We quit using them when we found that Fire Stick and Fire TV were so much easier to install the apps we use.

Zero experience with Chromecast as we don't use any google smart devices.

You Tube is a great source for analyzing each device to determine which one will provide you with what you want the device to do.
