Anyone recommend a good jump starter pack?

Given my current battery woes, can anyone recommend a good jump starter pack? I was looking at some of the more powerful noco ones?

I have a Noco GB70 I think.

Only used it to start other folks cars so far, but no issues.

In the NOCO top trumps, I have a GBX75 - as above, only used on other peoples vehicles (so far!) but i thought it prudent to get one that didn't need to be fully charged to deal with a partly or fully discharged vehicle battery.
Coincidentally, used it at work today on a big diesel that had been sat since July awaiting parts - fired up with a good cranking speed despite the pack showing 3/4 charged.

NOCO GBX55 here. Used it to start loads of things including big V8 and V6 petrol and diesel engined cars and vans, including from completely flat (literally 3-4V) batteries. Even showing half discharge it'll still easily start my 4.4V8 BMW.

Thanks everyone. These were the ones I was looking at specifically- the gbx50 and gbx75. Sounds like both would be up to the job. Might save myself a few quid and get the 50 - sounds like will be ok for my v8 4.4.
Might try and pick one up tomorrow (if I can get a lift!) and save getting green flag out!

Sorry I meant gbx55

I just picked up a gbx55 from Halfords, not got the car yet so its reputation precedes it! First time FFRR owner

Noco GB70 here too.
Never failed so far and has managed many cars on one charge .
Key thing is to wait 30s or so after connecting up & switching on. Every car has spun over really fast so far & fired immediately. Paul,
