Which is more reliable?
I have a 2824 and it is super quite with great time accuracy.
How about 2892?

The 2892 is a thinner movement. I also believe it's considered a top of the line ETA movement. I have both, both just as accurate. The 2892 is usually found in movements with complications

The 2892 has 21j and is thinner and performs very well with a high beat. Don't let the lack of 3-4 additional jewels deter you. In watches like Steinhart the 2892 is in their premium watches. The 2893 is the GMT version but these are super solid workhorses and very lo on maintenance.

I don't have a lot of experience with the Chinese 2892 clones but I will say that the genuine ETA movements are great little machines. Of course so are 2824s. You're good either way.

If A2824-2 is close to ETA 2824-2, then A2892 is very far from ETA 2892

i heard all asian eta are good since its cheap to invest in manufacture and study the technology of it. so 2892 is not garbage. i actually quite bend over to get a rep with a2892 more then 2824
