WiFi Enabled Thermostat to control 2 stage furnace and AC suggestion

I’m looking to replace the furnace and AC in our single story ranch home in So Cal. The FAU closet is in the middle of the house. It’s an upflow system, with a return at the floor with two large registers.

Fan noise is an issue (plus furnace noise as this will be a ultra low nox furnace), so I’m looking to get 2 stage units that will spend most of their time in the low stage. What WiFi enabled thermostats do you all like that will control both a 2 stage furnace and AC?

Also, I know Nest is a dirty word around here. I don’t plan on buying one, but can any model Nest control both furnace and AC if both are 2 stage?

Edit: If I just get 2 stage (non communicating) Lennox units, is there any benefit in getting a Lennox thermostat?

Thanks
