SteamVR + VD/Link vs Native Oculus Store Purchase?

So I think I'm just about to pull the trigger on a quest 2 (pun not intended), and was wondering if there were any versions of games I should buy on Steam VR and use a link cable/Virtual Desktop for instead of purchasing them directly on the quest.

​

I know that certain games look/perform markedly worse on the quest platform, and although certain games also have another separate version for the quest 2, I don't know what those games are. I have a fairly strong PC and a strong network connection so VD/Link is an option for me.

​

To give you an example: Is it worth buying, let's say, Beat Saber or Onward directly on the quest, or through Steam VR and using VD? (Both options are fine, but is the benefit of the SteamVR version outweigh the cons of using VD/Link)

​

***TL:DR*** I'm looking for a list of the games I should buy and play on Steam VR instead of directly on the quest 2.

P.S. I despise Facebook. I despise Facebook with a passion. But I REALLY like VR and unfortunately, the only real options for me at this point are the quest 2 or wait at least a year or more for something else. I'm just mentioning this before anyone gets all elitest on me.
