CalyxOS on a google pixel.
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Easy installation, just unlock the bootloader and enable adb in settings and plug into a computer and run the installer.
CalyxOS is set it and forget it. It will update itself seamlessly unlike other free Androids and unlike stock Androids. No maintainacnce. Support will likely continue after the manufacturer kills off your device.
Automatic updates and one click installs from f-droid. On calyx its even easier to install free as in freedom apps than it is to install the garbage on Google play.
You can still run your shitty non-free apps from google play (using the aurora store, a free as in freedom app to download google play apps from google play) if someone is forcing you to install their crap.
Does it have the issue that rooted devices sometimes have where certain fast food and banking apps don't work?
