When I was a pro, I used only Canon OEM batteries. They were fantastic.
If I was using one camera for a longish time, like 2-3 years, I would buy at least 1 extra OEM as a spare. Then maybe fill in with Wasabi as "extra" batteries for backup.

I have been "playing" with a lot of different cameras in the past year. Buying cameras when I can get a good deal to try them out and learn about different brands, and then re-selling them after a few months if they aren't a great fit for my needs.
I have been buying Wasabi for those, especially for the mirrorless cameras where I can kill a battery in 2-3 hours in some cases (my Sony A6000.) The Wasabi seem to lose a fair amount of power if left in the camera for a couple of days with no use. They will be down to 70% or 80% from just sitting, so I swap out to a fresh battery before I go out. They also seem to have slightly less capacity in actual use than the Sony battery. But 2 of the Wasabi with a charger (which Sony doesn't provide with the camera) still only cost 1/2 as much as a Sony OEM battery. I could buy 4 of the Wasabi for the the cost of 1 Sony OEM. Crazy.
So, YMMV, depending on how critical your work is, which camera, and the cost of the OEM battery.
I have standardize on the Wasabi after reading that it was recommended by about 60% to 70% of the people posting here in various forums. I have had some absolutely terrible non-OEM batteries. I think they were Flashpoint for the Canon EOS M.
Good luck!
