I'm using a RaspberryPi as renderer, running upmpdcli and mpd (also has MinimServer on it). For control points I also use BubbleUPnP on various Android devices, and Upplay on Windows 10, depending on where I am in the house. Apart from that consideration, I choose which of them to use depending on the following criteria:-

Upplay is good for managing the queue - deleting, moving or adding items. Also good for making a selection using the initial letter - good for a long list of artists' or track names.

Bubble is better for making selections based on album cover art, when I can only remember what something looks like! I use Qobuz and Bubble does a good job of proxying this, although I haven't tried to do this with upmpdcli nor mpd, which I think is theoretically possible.

Both controls operate simultaneously in OpenHome mode without any issue, with the OH option switched on in mpd. And both support viewing the cover art and other metadata of the current track, with a bit of help from MinimServer reconfiguring of data.

Would strongly recommend both, including responsiveness of their developers.
