I need to buy a charger for my Samsung S10+.

Galaxy S10+ uses the Adaptive Fast Charging standard.

The Samsung chargers now available are Super Fast Charging. e.g. Samsung Original 25W Type-C Travel Adaptor without Cable, Black

I know that you can use 'almost any charger with any mobile'.

I've come across :
AFC : The technology incorporates a smart chipset in both the charger and the device. This chipset communicates to determine the optimal charging parameters, including voltage and current.

Super Fast Charging is based on USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), while Adaptive Fast Charging uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology.

I don't think Adaptive Fast Charging chargers are available, here at least.

So what would be the best/smartest charger to get ?

Can I get this Anker charger instead of a Samsung OG ?
ANKER 20W Type C Ultra-Fast Charger


EDIT : I forgot to mention that I usually 'charge' my phone from the USB port of my PC since it is on most of the day. The charger is used only occasionally.

From what i read, s10+ is 15w charging support.
Not more.
And since its an old phone, you can save some money by getting a basic compact dual port charger (18w qc3.0 support) from Mi. Ive used this alot with my Samsung note 10 lite, and served the purpose well.
But you can check 2 options from portronics. They seem better and cheaper
1. Adapto 20 lite (I like the compactness)
2. Adapto 45 (dual port A, C) its cheap!
Depends on which cable you use for charging from PC. if its USB-A or USB-C.
Also ensure your cable supports Samsung fast charging.

But, Incase your PC you use for charging, has type c port, then you're better off with a type c-c cable and charger.

OK. I also found a Anker 18W QC3.0 charger.

But if I buy one of the USB-PD chargers mentioned in the OP, I could even use it with later mobiles, right ?

So what I really want to know, I guess, is will the PD chargers work with the S10+ ? Will the S10+ charge at least as fast as a AFC charger ? Or, will it charge slower like, say, a 5V 2A charger ?

I just missed a Samsung AFC charger in the Classifieds link
 
As long as its QC 3.0 it should support fast charging. My Mi 18w has been supporting it easily. No need to spend on original Samsung.
My Fujitsu (rebranded Lenovo) Laptop 65w charger supported 25w super fast charging on my note 10 lite. My 67w mi charger supported fast charging on Note 10 lite.
Which cable you use for charging from PC?
