The Pixel 4a is supposed to be pretty good.
I briefly looked at the Pixel 5, but Google is only offering $25 for my LG V35 as a trade-in. :-/ Plus, I'm used to the 3.5 mm jack and ability to add an SD card. And it looks like while the 5 has much smoother graphics, the CPU doesn't benchmark any faster than the SD845 I've got now.
Maybe pick a budget look around Swappa.com? I got Joan an iPhone XS a year or so ago after looking around there and a few other places before buying one on eBay (because it was practically new and had a boatload of storage).
I've used LG phones for ages and have had pretty good luck with them. They're cheap on the used market with good features, but LG is bad about updates. :-(
I've never gotten a phone repaired, though they apparently are very good about doing that now. But the XL is pretty old now - it's probably better to get something newer.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Scott.
