The Pixel 2 (not XL) would probably a good enough choice between those two, though I'm not sure if this battery degradation experience would be much better on other devices (in my understanding, those devices would experience sudden shutdowns with a degraded/older battery, just like iPhones did before the software updates to throttle CPU performance). The Pixel 2 XL has also been reported to have some serious display issues [1] that the Pixel 2 doesn't.
