Need help picking out the right plan for my family on healthcare.gov

I'd love some advice on what to look for and tips on bundling. The plan will be for me and my husband (we are in our early 40s, pretty healthy) and our 2 kids ages 3 and 1. We are all pretty healthy and usually just go for our annuals/well child check ups and flu shots. We did go to the drs a lot for my 1 year old for ear infections but now he's got tubes I'm hoping we won't need to go to the drs as much.

I will need dental for everyone and I would like to have dental for the kids because during my 3 year old's last check up they spotted something that they want to "watch" cavity wise.

So some of my questions are:

there are plans that bundle adult dental + health insurance for all. so id have to get separate dental for the kids. It is better to do that? or choose a cheaper plan that doesn't have dental and just get a separate dental plan for everyone? I could get plans with premiums as low as $100, though the deductible is super high like $15K and copays are $40-50 for primary care drs and $100 for specialty drs (i pay $30/$60 now, and I have a $4k deductible which I've met $2K of) Is there any reason that i might want to do COBRA vs getting a new plan? submitted by /u/chexi15
