FluentUI or Radzen Component Library

Hi All.. I am currently evaluating Blazor and am looking at the different component libraries out there. I like both FluentUI and Radzen.

https://www.fluentui-blazor.net/

https://blazor.radzen.com/

I have heard that FluentUI is harder to style but from a contol point of view it looks like it has all the controls I would need. However Radzen looks equally good. At first I thought I could mix and match (and get the best of both worlds) because I noticed Radzen had a theme for "FluentUI" but unforunatly its not available on the free tier.

In the back of my head im thinking, If I went Radzen, I dont think I would use the material theme because then you are stuck with a particular style, and if I ever need to do anything outside the box I would be stuck (im a backend developer so UI and CSS is not my forte)

But I just wanted to see what everyone out here thinks and if you have any thoughts either way? Any pros and cons between them. It feels like once you pick a library, your kinda stuck with it, as the controls are littered througout the UI so im getting a bit analysis paralysis over here!

Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any gotchas you ran into after picking one!

Thanks in advance!
