So a while ago I set up Sunshine and Moonlight on my pc and cheap Xiaomi Android box. My Android box is being a bit temperamental with regular streaming, so now I'm wanting to set something up that will run things a bit better, including game streams over my network.

What android box would be good for this?

And would I be better off setting up wireless controllers and a keyboard and mouse with the Android box or directly with my PC? Assuming pc for better responsiveness?
 
I'd say spend a bit more and look for a second hand/refurbished mini PC instead of an android box.. they are still small enough to not consume a ton of space, but they are going to be far more powerful than any android TV box and will provide better and consistent performance too..

Would a NUC be enough or would I need a small form factor pc?

I had one of these before and it worked pretty well for what you want to do

Thanks. Definitely looking for cheaper options which was why I was originally looking at android boxes.
