What's a great Android phone these days?

I have a perfectly good Google Pixel 2XL phone. I want to give it to my husband, who struggles with his wonky old phone, and buy myself a new phone for my birthday.

It has to be Android because reasons.
Are the newest Google Pixel phones good? Any other companies' I should know about? I haven't bought a new phone in years. I like good cameras. I like good battery life. I might also want a slightly larger screen than my 2XL to read books on better than I can do now. I assume any new phone is going to just have a USB-C outlet, so if I want to listen to music at the same time as charging the phone I'll have to continue to plug in my Stupid Splitter, which I do now with mixed results -- sometimes the music doesn't go through to the headphones. I would love a USB-C port for charging AND the little hole for the earphones, but I guess the little hole (3mm?) is really gone from this world now (I'm not a big fan of Bluetooth headphone connections)?

Any other things I should know about?

I have Verizon as my provider. Is there any reason not to buy the phone from Verizon (if they have what I want)? Is there any good place to buy a new phone
