Anker is a stable, reliable brand. They have a 6 port charger, a 5 port with QuickCharge 3.0 support, a 5 port with USB C support, a 2 port with both USB and QC 3.0. Their powerbanks are also popular with similar selection: there's a plain two port one, one with QC, one with USB-C.
Power bank wise, there's a RAVPower 20100 mAh power bank (RP-PB043) which can charge USB-C and QC 3.0 devices both and in turn can be charged by either.
Another important device is the MOGICS Bagel/Donut: two ports USB charger, plug shape converter and power strip, the Bagel universal, the Donut US only. Best all around electronics companion ATM.

I'm looking for a USB-C PD charger for a Samsung Chromebook Plus. Requirements include:
1. Folding power prongs
2. At least one 2.4A USB-A charging port so a phone can be charged from the same adapter. (QC 2.0 or QC 3.0 is a nice to have, but not absolutely necessary)
I'm surprised how few options there are on Amazon.

Completely unreviewed, but https://www.amazon.com/eranton-Charg...dp/B075GWC5YQ/ or https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Deliv...dp/B0759LFT92/
Also take a look at https://www.amazon.com/Lumsing-Charg...dp/B01I1OIO4A/. It's listed at 14.5v instead of 15v, which I believe is a non-PD-standard Mac profile, so may or may not work with the CBP.

I just bought this and used it in Singapore. I was carrying a 3 plug extension cord and Anker (which I really like still) and wanted an all in one solution. It also has a small surge protector built in.

AFAIK, the wireless charging bit is the only new tech being rolled out. The QC spec is the same 14.5V USB PD output that the iPads and MacBooks already support.

So a little off topic, but...
I recently bought a Samsung dual-USB port car charger - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IPJX2NY
Works great - came with a USB-C cable, and QC works perfectly.
However if I plug my Tom Tom GPS into the second port then it works fine - right up until I turn the car off. At that point the TomTom immediately powers off - normally if it loses power it will give a shutting-down-in-10-seconds message and give the option to stay on, but in this case it just dies. When power comes back it doesn't turn back on, but needs to be manually powered on at which point it's forgotten where it is/recent destinations/etc.
I have no idea what the charger is doing, but it's obviously sending some form of signal on power-loss which the TomTom doesn't like. Pulling the plug out of the cigarette lighter socket does the same thing. Just disconnecting the USB cable from the plug results in a clean shutdown/10 second warning.
