I'd
suggest looking for new/used/refurbished phones that are a year or two old -
with 7 years of support that only drops you down to 5 or 6 years, but the
price can be cut in half or more.

 
Which android brand or model is the most rootable, historically?

Pixel.  They have the best support for aftermarket OSes, meaning that
there's more choice for Pixel than for other brands.  It's why OSes like
GrapheneOS only support Pixels.

(but US carriers can still lock bootloaders if they want to, so if you get a
carrier Pixel best to check it isn't bootloader locked)
