AuroraXL was supposed to be the next step for my Aurora model but it became so much more. It ended up bridging the gap and sometimes overlapping CFXL and LobeliaXL. It is a very diverse model as you can see, allowing you to do pretty much anything with it. It's my favorite model to use as I know it can handle anything I throw at it.
All my SDXL models come with this VAE baked in https://civitai.com/models/140686/fix-fp16-errors-sdxl-lower-memory-use-sdxl-vae-fp16-fix-by-madebyollin?modelVersionId=155933
