G1 vs PM01

G1 from Unitree and PM01 from EngineAI target overlapping use cases, so the decision usually comes down to price, payload and how soon you can actually take delivery. PM01 is the cheaper of the two. PM01 carries more payload, which matters for material handling work. Both are at a similar stage of availability.
