I've had Pixels back to the Nexus days - my first one was a Nexus S. They work well and Google supports them for 3 years which unfortunately is the best you can get in the Android world. Today I have a Pixel 1 which unfortunately has reached end-of-life.

A warning for people shopping cheap Pixels - The Pixel 2 and 2 XL will get their last security update December 2020

Right now the best value in cell phones is the Apple iPhone SE2. Apple supports their phones for 5 years so $400 / 5 = $80 per year. The Pixel 4a is a great phone for $350 but only gets 3 years of support so $350 / 3 = $117 per year. It also isn't waterproof which is a deal breaker for me.
