I started out with a Wink hub and GE Link bulbs, the Wink failed rather quickly so I dumped it and went to a Samsung SmartThings hub. Then my local Home Depot stopped carrying GE bulbs, so I bought Cree Connected ones instead. I can see very little difference in them.
As ApK said, the GE bulbs tended to be a little unreliable, but recently with firmware upgrades they have improved.
As several people have said, on those fixtures that have multiple bulbs, they are installed and configured independently then grouped under a different name, e.g. my dining room fixture has two bulbs called dine1 and dine2, and there is a group called dinning that includes both. So I can control them individually or both together. I don't use them in dimmer mode, so I don't know if I can dim them as a group or have to dim them individually.
