With regular Blurays it's pretty easy to find a good USB3 model on Amazon for MakeMKV. I have the prior model of the Pioneer BDR-XD08 and it works great - the current model uses USB-C even!
On the other hand UHD/4K drives require flashing firmware to get them to rip with MakeMKV and manufacturers have been seemingly patching them. I've not given it an honest try yet.

I haven't had any problems with a random ASUS drive I picked from the libredrive compatibility list (internal with SATA connection though, but you can always get a USB adapter). But was a couple of years ago so it is possible the avilability situation has gotten worse. The only issues I have had were with brand new releases where the decryption keys weren't yet in the list MakeMKV pulls. But that is always only a short-lived problem.
