Whilst strictly not an etude by name, I hope I am not doing any wrong in posting the last work by Diemer
here. His Scherzo-Capriccioso Opus 57.

An interesting video of a pianist playing Méreaux étude n°24, Bravura. Not much musical substance, but the acrobatics are there!

Certainly acrobatic. This pianist has recorded some very difficult works - including some of those by Alkan - to a very high standard for an amateur.
I did, however, feel it important to point out on his video that there are several more musically interesting studies in the set than the 'Bravura' one!

Can someone recommend the BEST etudes for 4th and 5th fingers (passage work, trill etc.). There are so many etudes and I have lost my way in the "etudes' forest". Thanks so much!

IMHO, if you think you need etudes for LEARNING and TRAINING these things, then just invent exercises. Play trills or repeated notes in all variations.
If you want to play etudes for playing interesting , but at least technically challenging music or playing music in an interesting and attractive way, then take ANY etude of your collection.
Sorry, no concrete hint.
