Hi guys I was thinking of installing either Calyx OS or Graphene OS on Pixel 7 I got from secondhand.
Meanwhile I was also wondering which one of these is most private but also best usable; Aurora Store or Google Play Mirror (Graphene OS) or Micro G?
Edit; Thanks for all info guys. I will take it into consideration and probably always first use F-Droid and web apps.

So aurora with micro g is more private in the sense that you’re not required to have a google account which would be used to track the apps you use etc. But sandboxed google play on GrapheneOS is significantly more secure. It requires fewer privileges than microG, operates in a much stricter sandbox, and performs checksum verifications on your downloads to ensure they are legitimate. Aurora is hypothetically vulnerable to man in the middle attacks since it doesn’t check the file’s hash
