Depends a bit, Graphene will usually provide a bit extra to the security update period but for my cheap self it usually comes down to how long a particular device will be supported vs how cheap I can get it.

Bought a 5a a couple of years back on a black Friday, but nowadays you'd probably want a Pixel 6 or newer. The latest is always going to give the longest support period but also costs the most (and the biggest risk you buy it for the long term and break it or something).
Also, be cautious of used phones or carrier phones that don't let you unlock the bootloader.
