Have a MacBook already 
Seriously though. Cheap and working right don’t always go hand in hand with Apple products.

You said you wanted to avoid Apple and you need to get their cable. As far as Aukey or Anker go I don't see any cheaper than $40 on amazon. It sounded like you wanted the cheap chinese knockoffs and you won't find anything remotely safe or reliable in that category.
Yikes. Nah, I don't want a Chinese knock off because that is negligence with phone usage.
It needs to be the 29w charger from Apple and the specific cable from Apple
If not it will not fast charge with other chargers or cables, because there is a specific chip in both that sets up the 29w charge. Any other charger will never go over 12W.
Same as the iPad pro’s.

So this article is false? https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/02/whats-the-best-fast-charger-for-iphone-8-and-iphone-x/
Hope everyone realizes that the “fast” wireless charging will be a lot slower than a 29W USB C charge. 7.5W vs 29.
Oh, I am not getting wireless charging. Just standard quick charge wired. Gotta get my accessories ordered first before I decide between the X or 8+.
The brick you can get on amazon for cheaper, but none of the Amazon isn’t to lightning cables will work for fast charging. You will just be charging at the regular rate. I tried one and ended up having to send it back and bought the Apple cord
The iPad Pro comes with a 12W charger that uses a standard USB-A to lightening cable. It’ll be significantly faster than the iPhone’s default 5W charger, but not quite as fast as the 29W charger from the macbook.
You need something like this...

And also the official Apple usb-c to lightning cable

Will the Apple usb-c to lightning to lightning work with my Samsung fast charger that came with my note 8
It had been extensively tested on the iPad Pro’s and they are 29W chargers and they will not charge more then 10/12W.
I don’t see why Apple would change that for the iPhone X as it is still a whole lot of power trough a tiny cable.
And if you want to know how much goes wrong with amazon ordered cables? Look up this piece by ars technical about Leung: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...e-thats-so-bad-it-fried-his-chromebook-pixel/
The guy is a google engineer that has a hobby for testing cables. USB-c cables. There have been very few that complied with the design rules. There have been a lot that are downright dangerous for the devices. And a few that fried the device.
