Get a Wham Bam PEI build plate. Period.
There's also G10 plates for some printers at lightyeardirect that look like winners - I'll be getting one shortly but I haven't tested yet so I can't vouch for it.
I run the textured plate from Bambu with ASA a lot, it adheres well and then once cool the parts are literally just sitting on it, not even a little bit adhered. The Wham Bam is pretty much the same, but it's smooth so the parts are VERY slightly more likely to have a hint of "stick" after cooling.
Those two plates are my go-to for 98% of the printing I do. Everything sticks, everything releases. I'm getting the G10 because it specifically says "EVERYTHING" works without glue, and I'm doing PC soon which requires glue on both the textured and Wham Bam plates.
Wham Bam makes plates for just about every machine out there, looks like lightyeardirect has a smaller compatibility list. But in any case it should be possible to find a build plate that will do what you want, reliably, and without messy adhesion/release agents.
