Power adaptor etc, voltage and aperture?

Hi
Great to meet you all.
So, I need to know what power adaptor to get, and I cannot find this information on the website etc. I have an existing powerboard with an additional couple of USB ports, which would be ideal for charging, but, a new power adaptor would be useful for using it with my television. My existing powerboard has written "5V DC 4.2AMP MAX TOTAL", do I need to be concerned about the amperage? Would the official Raspberry Pi 3+ power adaptor, "5.1V @ 2.5Amps" be adequate, or is there a better alternative? Does more amperage mean, faster recharge times?
Any information to clarify what I need here would be absolutely great, and any additional information, or otherwise, general knowledge, would likewise be absolutely fantastic.
Cheers
