Top Gun Maverick is now available to stream on a couple of platforms (eg You Tube, Amazon Prime and Google TV) for very similar prices, but which is best for audio?

I believe You Tube is just stereo (that info could be many years out of date) but ideally I'd like 5.1 surround sound...

If you have Sky Cinema then Paramount+ is free and has Dolby Atmos as far as I know.

Apple - Dolby Atmos, 4K Dolby Vision. Same price as Prime (£9.99). Includes lots of behind the scenes extras which I’m not sure any other services do.

Netflix supports 5.1 and Atmos;

Can't find anything definitive from Amazon on their own audio streaming quality.

I've had 5.1 through Amazon Prime (app running on a Sony Bravia using Google TV OS, and I only have a 5.1 system not Atmos), but I've never quite been convinced by their Dolby Vision support and have also recently forgotten to check.

Netflix definitely does Vision and Atmos, and I watched Top Gun Maverick on Apple TV (again, built in app) as that definitely does Vision and Atmos/5.1.
