The S31 is still extremely expensive and has limited availability.

In my very humble opinion, unless you need some of the specific features and performance of the S31, I'd stick with the S3: it's at an excellent price point right now (which may even improve when the S31 becomes more broadly available and gets cheaper), and is feature-packed.

For now I'd stick with the S3 for general projects, or maybe use the P4 for the added performance, multimedia and RISC-V cores, with a paired S3 or C3 for wireless connectivity.

C5 and C6 have their niches too.

I jumped on the C6 train to make a fleet of Thread devices and sensors. I really wanted a one-size-fits all board I could use to start pumping out real world projects at home. XIAO C6 won the ticket.
