Godox also have superb interoperability.
I think all their hotshoe based flashguns include built in 2.4GHz wireless transmitters and receivers, and a significant proportion of their mains and battery strobes have built in 2.4 GHz receivers - all of which are not only compatible with each other (so a hotshoe flashgun can act as a wireless master fro one of their studio strobes, for example), but this also includes cross-brand interoperability, so a Godox flashgun (or trigger) with, for example, a Nikon hotshoe, can act as a wireless master for a second Godox flashgun even if the second flashgun has a different hotshoe (EG Canon, Sony) - while maintaining TTL and HSS operation!
The only downside when buying Godox is an almost zero level of customer service if you buy via eBay, Amazon, etc. BUT in the UK you have Lencarta and Essential Photo who both rebrand / resell Godox - you pay a little extra, but get a full 2 year UK warranty for peace of mind.
You need a good reason to buy anything other than Godox at the moment!

Lencarta sell Godox branded gear, and also their own branded SmartFlash and Superfast studio heads, both of which are actually Godox units, though I believe they may be specific to Lencarta (Gary Edwards, one of the main posters in the Lighting section on TP, used to work for Lencarta, which is where my info on their rebranding comes from - at the time the Lencarta branded units were manufactured by Godox based on standard models but with uprated component specifications - higher quality capacitors, etc).
The Lencarta branded gear is certainly fully compatible with the Godox branded triggers (and vice versa) - same goes for the PixaPro flash and triggers from Essential Photo (IE Lencarta, PixaPro and Godox all work together, as they are the same system).

All depends what you need your lenses for.  200mm f2 or f1.8 for example is hard to beat for low light action.  Zooms have their place and so do primes and so does flash as above.  Choose the right tools for the job.
