I had the Tummy Tub until DS was about 8 months. It was awkward in the beginning to stabilize his head without it flopping around on the sides of the tub. He loved being submerged in water from his shoulders down. I bought the Stokke Flexi Tub after. Convenient for the small space we were living in at the time.
so someone gifted us a fancy baby bath that we never used to its full capacity. We use the tub but I think it's supposed to have some kind of jet feature or something that we never used. That being said, once her umbilical cord fell off and she could have real baths, we started with a basin in the sink for the first month or so. Then we used the sling in the baby tub to support her until she could sit up on her own and then she was in the tub.
I think this or this are probably good choices. according to rakuten, the whale tub (second link) is cheaper at buy buy baby
