Are moisture sensors any good? I always read about how useless they are, but maybe that’s just a certain type? What would you recommend?

Moisture sensors that measure conductivity are pretty useless unless frequently recalibrated but time domain reflectometry sensors are much better and more accurate.
I use the VH400 from Vegetronix:

Yes, conductivity is pretty useless over time.
