For the most people, the Satechi Dock5 wins: five organized slots plus a Qi pad and 4 wired ports at $59.99, and it doesn't care what brand anyone owns. The Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe is the prettier bedside answer for Apple households. Satechi's Qi2 foldable is the travel pick. Twelve South's own Valet is a $180 leather tray that proves even good brands lose the plot.
