If you're going to do network testing, then an NETool is recommended.  That's a complete Linux network testing system 
in what looks like a larger-than-usual dongle.

Beyond that, if you're using an older Mac, then in my experience Apple's Thunderbolt 2/GigE adapter can't be beat.

I do not yet have enough experience with USB, or USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3 adapters to be able to make any 
recommendations.
