Electric meters for tenants – card pre-pay or smart?

I’m renovating a five-bed, three-story flat into three separate flats (a floor each).
I now need to determine what to fit in each flat:
Prepay card meter – tenants know how much they have, top-ups when need to, better for budgeting, and as a Landlord no standing charges between tenancies
Normal/smart billing meters – tenants can shop around for supplier of choice, may get better rates, but downside between tenancies as Landlord liable for standing charges. Also, there are issues switching companies when a certain smart meter is fitted.
Is there anything else I need to consider?
Many thanks
Reluctant
