Depending on where you live... Fairphone! Its an ethically sourced and manufactured smart phone that you can buy preloaded with e/os (a fork of lineage).
It depends on what counts as decent and not too expensive for you to some extent. I have a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with Lineageos 20. I'm very happy with it: quite cheap as it's four years or so old, runs Lineageos perfectly, and I like smaller-sized phones.
Have you looked into grapheneos? They support some older pixel versions. I've been using it on a 7 pro for about a year and prefer it to lineageos. Specially if you use apps that require play services to run.
Might wanna take a look at louis Rossman recent video on grapheneOS
Tldr it's probably still a good OS, but there's some things about the dev that are off putting.
