Recommendations on the "new" generation of outliners?

After a lot of consideration, I realized I would like something visual. From project planning to research to company docs, I just like seeing the overview. Otherwise, current 3-panes such as UltraRecall would be sufficient.

Heptabase and Obsidian (Canvas) seem like the two most obvious tools. I’m leaning toward Heptabase as a tool which appears to have a lower learning curve - however, Obsidian has a Zotero integration plugin.

Some questions:
1) In Heptabase, is there any way to record and track entries with attributes, such as the Ultra Recall templates I’ve made for “doctor’s appointments”, “meetings”, etc?
2) Is there any reference software like Zotero that has a Heptabase integration? I could just keep this separate in Citavi, but I prefer to avoid multiple entry when possible.
3) Does anyone have general comments on Heptabase vs Obsidian Canvas?

Thanks!
