What phone to use for hard reset?

I’ve used cheap androids before and they don’t really last that long and they get buggy so Samsung. I want to get a Samsung with a secure folder so I won’t have to get a completely new device if I get banned or decide to re make my account.

What devices do you guys use? Also does anyone have a list of android devices that have a secure folder under 200$? And is it ok if I buy a refurbished device or should I get one brand new?
