After getting both the RG35XX SP and the Miyoo Flip, I think the Miyoo device is better and worth the extra $5. The biggest win is that the buttons feel miles better, like it's kind of difficult to play the RG35XX SP because the buttons are so stiff. But also the Flip has smaller bezels (making the device a little smaller) and the joysticks are good enough to play the N64/Dreamcast library.
One downside is that neither device is powerful enough to run Swanstation with good texture upscaling which makes 2D/3D games like ChronoCross less pretty than on more powerful devices.
The transparent RG35XXSP also has hinge issues with the plastic cracking so I'd say just go for a solid color 35SP or the 34SP if you want the most reliable hinge.
But also the risk of breaking a $45 device doesn't seem all that bad, I'd just replace the flip on the off chance it breaks and swap the old SD card in

nobody should buy a miyoo flip so long as those thing become e-waste time bombs

Ampown still hasnt shipped my order from 2 weeks ago, I got my order from china faster then their local usa store
The D pad was acceptable but not great IMO. I like the D pad on the Brick a lot more.
The hinge snaps closed a little too hard for my confidence, as in it felt like it won't be able to hold up over time but it may just be in my head.
The screen aspect ratio on the flip is better suited for more systems than the rg34xxsp.
It also was too thick to fit in my pocket comfortably alongside my phone, whereas the rg35xxh feels nice in my pocket alongside my phone. The real advantage to the clamshells is being able to throw them into a bag though.
The software options on the miyoo flip aren't great. I think they are all built on top of the stock firmware vs full replacements. In comparison the Anbernic XX line has a ton of software options.
