Hello There, I would like advice/guidance to any cool plugin thats out there for the creation of EPUBs. I am aware of In5 but would like to know what else there.

In5 is not an EPUB authoring tool and AFAIK, the only "plugin" designed specifically for EPUB with InDesign is CirclarFLO. Worth noting is that it's Mac-only.

Perhaps you should back up and tell us what you're hoping for.

I can read the question, I think — everyone wants something as encapsulated and automated as PDF export. With the abandonment of the EPUB plugin about ten versions ago, there's nothing, and nothing on the horizon, that even comes close. EPUB remains a largely manual, non-intuitive format, but at least InDesign approaches it from a modern (layout and content-focused) workflow, and not the hand-carved jigsaw puzzle approach of the older/freeware/amateur tools. (Amazon's Kindle tools are unfortunately 90% in the latter mode and then dumbed down for first-book authors.)

There aren't any, really. A few older, very dated ones.

But you may find Digital Publishing Basics to be of use, and the book in signature below. Happy to answer questions as well.
