I've tried both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, since I've had a Pixel already. I don't consider one "better" than the other.
Calyx is based on LineageOS, so you get a wider range of devices and functionality. It uses microG, which works great as long you don't use any apps with IAP.
GrapheneOS' play service sandbox can handle the case though, so I went with that, not being able to live without MacroDroid pro. Plus I like they got rid of Google location services altogether, and functionality-wise I'm not missing anything either.
Other people will have other priorities or preferences when it comes to their devices. Use whatever tickles your pickle.

sunshine/moonlight works for me, even though steam link crashes after 10s
you know, you can block ads on Android. add as many trackers as you want, NextDNS will just sinkhole them ๐คทโโ๏ธ it works just like PiHole. Adguard is good too. no need for any subscription.
there's a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone's security capabilities
