It’s hot. Most of the time I will wear a tichel, but sometimes I will want to wear a sheitel or hat. What’s the best option to stay cool? And if you say hat, do you have a link to a good one?

I usually wear my band fall or tichels. I wear my sheital on shabbat

I think that your best bet are tichels.
I don't go for hat without some kind of hair piece underneath and that can get a bit cumbersome on the head.( This is my personal preference, many women wear hats with nothing underneath)
Also depends on the situation. If you are outdoors, a tichel will always be the lighter more comfortable option. If you want to dress up a little, you'll need your sheitel and yes it will be hot.
If indoors with air-conditioning, I guess it doesn't really make a difference.

Cotton, cotton, cotton. I also use velvet volumizers/headbands, and when it's really hot, I wet them, wring them out so they're barely damp, and then put them in the freezer. Then I'm carrying a personal air conditioner on my head wherever I go. XD
