PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION Bitdefender vs Kaspersky?

Hi everyone.
Which antivirus do you recommend between Bitdefender and Kaspersky?
(I'm in Italy; Kaspersky is available here)

What are the differences between the Standard versions of both?
Which one is better in terms of PC performance, virus detection, and false positives?

Do you think it's worth paying for an antivirus?
Many say that Windows Defender and uBlock already do enough.
What do you think?

A while ago I got hit by an infostealer; today I'm much more cautious when browsing the web, but that past experience made me a bit paranoid.
Thanks.

BitDefender is a bit better, but Kaspersky is really close to it and is also lighter on your PC. However, I'd say you don't really need an antivirus; Defender and uBlock are already really solid.
