OP mention US ETF, so I think one of the key consideration is whether you are comfortable with the US withholding tax on dividend.

Might want to try if you can find a similar alternative in Ireland domiciled ETF.

Reason for me to buy ETF when:

1) i wan diversification thus S&P should form my baseline. Top 500 companies in US.

2) when i wan to expose to certain sector that companies do not have clear moat eg. healthcare, ultilities, cybersecurity ....

3) dont know the sector well but want some exposure.​​​
