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?

Get the cheapest food dehydrator that still fits your spools. You will have to cut out the middle of the racks. Also get yourself a thermometer. In my experience the dryer dial is off by 10-20 degrees centigrade.
