You should first consider what you need logging for. Is it just ad-hoc text "debug" logs? Structured transaction or request logs to feed some sort of analytics? This impacts the backend trade-offs quite a bit. Are you trying to do monitoring via logs? Don't. Export metrics via Prometheus (or something like it), much cheaper and dependable then extracting metrics via a log collection system.
