Agreed, CIOKS rules but will probably be overkill in this situation. If you have Eventide or Strymon stuff or any current hungry pedals tho, it's hard to best CIOKS.
I'd say go with the Voodoo Labs PP2+ in this situation if you're wanting something better than a One Spot or DC Brick (basically a One Spot in a box). The PP2+ is reliable, quiet, and has plenty of power options you may need in the future, who knows what you'll get later on. Has the sag feature if needed, plenty of 9V 100mA outs, some higher current 250mA outs, and a courtesy AC jack on the rear to string supplies together or power the random pedal it can't handle. The ISO 5 is nice too but so limited, I can see outgrowing that thing quickly.
CIOKS is the absolute best imo but price def reflects that. Something like the DC10 has sooooooo much flexibility and current availability. Anywhere from 9V to 12V to 15V and current ranges from 100mA to 400mA. It'll power most anything beyond AC pedals and it has a nice little LED system to indicate out status currently being used. Tiny enclosure, amazing build quality, and runs dead silent. Again, probably overkill for OP's needs tho.
Keep in mind you can get current and voltage doubler cables for either unit in case a future pedal requires 18V or a high mA supply. It'll require joining two isolated outs but the option is there. Also, even though each is advertised with 10 outs, those outs are situated into only 8 isolated sections so unless you daisy chain (eliminating isolation for that out and possibly introducing noise) you're limited to 8 outs.
The Joyo stuff is crazy inexpensive, never tried one, kinda feel like you get what you pay for with these isolated units. I had a T-Rex Chameleon last year cuz the price and flexibility were too good to be true. Of course, the 18V out never worked properly and I got a buncha hum whenever it was located anywhere near my board. My PP2+ and DC10s are located underneath a removable floor in my board, very near a variety of dirt and fuzz pedals and there is no noise as a result.
The McSpunkle unit looks cool too but again kinda limited. Not sure if he's still making those...
That's my experience with supplies thus far, VL and CIOKS if you want to get one that will meet your needs trouble free for a good long while.
