Perhaps a weird question, but I haven't seen it answered anywhere here or elsewhere. Is there any benefit to choosing a Canon mount over a Nikon mount to use with a Metabones speedbooster and g85/gh5 other than the likelihood of using either Canon or Nikon glass in the future? This is going to be my only non-native glass for my g85.

sivendcBased on my research of the speedboosters/adapters on the market, I'd go with Canon mount unless you have some reason to favor Nikon.
The reason is that I see more adapters for Canon than Nikon, and new features generally come to the Canon adapters first. For instance, the newer generation of "smart" adapter, those which enable electrical communication between the lens and body, seem to be coming for Canon glass first.
Mostly it's Canon to Sony, which makes sense. The most popular DSLR brand to the most popular mirrorless brand.
If you're getting a speedbooster, keep in mind that this is an APS-C lens, not a FF lens. And if you also get a straight adapter, you'll get two zoom ranges out of the same glass.
