Steriliser recommendation

Ladies, help please. I’ve been using boiling water to steam but now just feel like I’m ready for an actual steriliser. I’m torn between the microwave steriliser or the Milton cold water steriliser. Can you please let me know which one you’ll go for and why?🙏 or maybe continue heating using boiling water?
