While F-Droid may be important, I personally tend to prefer Aurora Store and even more Obtainium[1]. Although you have to be even more careful what you install, Obtainium is extremely good at keeping apps up to date.
Some projects don't even provide an F-Droid release, so just adding the github repository to Obtainium is much easier than having to deal with apk stuff.
The Aurora Store app is just a frontend for the play store. It's a useful tool, but gives none of the benefits the existence of F-Droid provides to the world. Obtainium just fetches an .apk from a site, also useful, but provides none of the security aspects of F-Droid or the Play Store.
There is no good alternative to F-Droid. Thankfully that's just because it is such a great concept.

I didn't realise quite how many repos exist for f-droid:

Izzyondroid is the only one I've added in the past.
