Which ROM is best on a Pixel 4a 5G: Lineage with MicroG, or Graphene?

Basically the title. I’ve installed Lineage already, however, I don’t know if it’s better than GrapheneOS

Since the Pixel 4 series no longer gets security updates, GrapheneOS doesn't support it anymore and discourage using it for security purposes:

GrapheneOS isn't available for anything older than the 6 series.

Graphene is more secure than lineage, but either are way better than stock

Edit: You should really try to even get yourself off of MicroG and not require it.

It’s a start! Plus I’m just trying to use it as an offline music player lol

In general graphene OS is better, but on a pixel 4a it might be that their support ends at some point soonish. I heard lineage supports devices much longer, so maybe in your case its better to check this before deciding.

Your only option is lineage since it's not getting security updates the other ROMS won't support it
