Default Which portable ADS-B receiver with iPad?

I'm using an Ipad Air 2 with Foreflight and had a chance to use a Sirius receiver. The satellite weather was nice but I didn't have a chance to see if it had ADS-B capability.

Is there a better receiver or preferred one to use with Foreflight?

I'm thinking about buying one for personal use as a portable collision avoidance assistant.

Any input would be appreciated.

I've not used mine very long but, with its built in AHRS and an iPad, I feel pretty confident in using it as a backup.
I like being able to see other aircraft, instant weather, the synthetic vision and being able to overlay approach plates and the taxi diagram automatically displaying on landing.
