A229 ultra, 4k front and rear. A329 is pricier and gives you 60 frames per second but you don’t get 4k on the rear. I have tried both and personally prefer the higher resolution for the rear as it makes number plates easier to read
I’m happy with the VIOFO A329 in my 25 CrossTrek. Also had a VIOFO A119 in my partners’ vehicle and my previous one. If you want a comparison video, Project Farm and Linus Tech Tips have a couple you can watch. I’d recommend that one if you’re looking for front and rear cams, or the A329T if you want the telephoto camera (better for license plates.) Don’t worry about the Eyesight. My front cam is mounted a couple of centimeters to the right of the black plastic that houses the Eyesight camera. No issues. Also please ensure you’re using a proper high/max endurance microSD card (or a good NVME SSD) if your eventual cam supports it.

It has a better front and also comes with a rear so that depends on what you want. They don't compete imo since the mini is more of a single small front. The 229 is like the decent middle ground before you start entering the higher end stuff like the 329t
One thing he left out, VIOFO has the A229 Pro which is basically the same camera, same image sensor as the 329T minus the telephoto lens, and it’s a butt-ton cheaper than the A329T. Not cheap, but not obscene. And considering the praise on the wide angle for the A329T, it’s a smart choice at the higher end of budgets. I got mine for $449 AUD.
The A119 Mini 2 has the Starvis 2 sensor, but it's the 2K version (the same used in the A229's rear camera). The A119M Pro offers the 4K sensor. The A119 Mini Pro 2 is currently $192 AUD. For an additional $80 AUD you can get the A119M Pro, which upgrades to 4K video. For another $208 more than the A119M Pro, you can get the A229 Pro, which adds the additional 2K rear camera and a slightly larger built-in screen.
I went with the new viofo A329T. I’m putting the rear cam on the wind blocker between the headrests. That way I can view with top up or down.
I have the Viofo A329T, you can also go A329S depending on your needs. The most recent 2.0 beta firmware includes geofencing for three locations so you don't need to have it recording while parked in your garage.
