My vote goes for Calyx. The web installer makes this way, way easier to deal with.

Graphene has a web installer too.

Is it a smooth experience? Calyx, so long as the bootloader is unlocked, is almost fire and forget.

Yes. Same thing with graphene w/ a new phone.

The web installer used by CalyxOS is a fork of GrapheneOS work.

Well, that's cool, but a fork doesn't always mean the experience is the same. I haven't used the Graphene OS web installer, and am unlikely to anytime soon.
