It depends a little on circumstance. Personally if it were me, I'd just buy a long-ish USB-C to HDMI cable (i.e. male USB-C one end, male HDMI the other end). If anything you need to use has a captive HDMI cable (or if you can't get to the socket to plug a cable in, and need to plug their HDMI cable into something, then a short USB-C to female HDMI adapter might be what you want.
The same things as most tech applies: you generally get what you pay for, so don't just look for the cheapest option. In terms of HDMI make sure it sys it'll do whatever resolution you want (i.e. 4K) at 60Hz, or it's gonna look terrible.

Is the Belkin USB-C to HDMI Adapter a good one for 4K HDR display and projectors with HDMI port? The one at school has a HDMI cable coming out from the podium. It is for connecting to the projector from laptop.
I noticed that Apple also sells a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. Is it better than the Belkin one?

I haven't used either personally, but if they both say they support 4K/HDR then pick the one you prefer the price/look of. They're both reputable brands.
Personally I try to find external cables that have braided casings now, as they seem to hold up to wear and tear a lot better.
