Plenty to choose from there.

I find the Nowcast one reliable, although I've not really checked it lately.

The best thing to do is when there's a thunderstorm detected and there's strikes on the map then try and match it up with the radar, where there's lots of strikes in the same location as heavy rain on the radar then that's going to be the most acurate detector.
