I've come to really like peek since it allows to select the rectangle you want to record with minimal interaction. It is also in the Debian repos.

It allows recording a rectangle/section of the screen, supports Wayland and records to webm by default - which most(?) browsers can play directly.
It's made it trivial to record short how-to videos for helping illustrate how to do something with a web app, or to illustrate visual bugs.
