My wife got a MacBook Pro 16" and she wants to dock it on her desk with external monitors. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.

I have a Western Digital D50 hub that I use. It has a built in NVME drive for extra storage. I think it only does one external display in addition to the macbook screen.

Depending on which model the macbook is, it can be real finicky with multiple external monitors.

I have been using a Dell D600 for about 5 years now on a MacBook Pro and Air with no issues. I just use the DisplayLink manager software and it connects all through USB-C from my laptop to the doc and drives 2 monitors. I use my laptop monitor for a 3rd one.
