So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it's picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.

What's the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who's fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?

I just keep my spools in a large sealing storage tub with an oven safe tray of loose silica desiccant beads at the bottom.

This, but I use Damp Rid, which is quicker to replace and not that expensive.

Also, I have an Inkbird temperature/humidity sensor in there to check the status without opening.
