What is better for reliable backups: Wasabi or BackBlaze B2?

in General
AWS S3 seems a little overpriced.
Comments
iirc Wasabi has minimum 90days retention period and has a minimum usage of 1TB. And it's slightly more expensive then B2 (storage wise/ $0.99/TB iirc). However wasabi doesn't have operation charges (although they are really cheap on B2 as well) and has unlimited (FUP up to the storage amaount you use) bandwidth, while B2 is charged per GB (you can get free bandwidth if you proxy through CF though). I'd say both are reliable, and B2 has an advantage as a backup solution since they can ship you back a HDD for data restore.
How?
Haven't used Wasabi, but I have used Backblaze B2 for a few months now and it's been great. Reliable and very affordable, this month I paid like $2 for 300GB~ of stored data with occasional incremental changes.

rclone supports B2 with Cloudflare proxy URL out of the box
Backblaze forbackups and wasabi for web accessible non critical files
