Shop vac for detailing - Dewalt vs Ridgid

What is the story, car enthusiasts?

Looking at replacing my nearly 20 year old 2 gallon corded/cordless Dewalt vacuum because the motor bearings are starting to get noisy.

Ridgid offers a 4 gallon 6hp unit, and Dewalt offers a 6 gallon 5hp unit.

Power seems important. I have never, in all of my shop vac days, needed anything more than 1 or 2 quarts' worth of debris removal. Therefore reservoir capacity is not a big factor. I want this to last quite some time, not a 2 year and throw it away lifecycle.

I want this thing to easily pick up the smallest specs from automotive carpet.

What is the absolute best shop vac for auto detailing in this size class? Thanks!
