ok, i've been watching some tutorials and read a few guides and robotsats looks like the easiest non-kyc option by far.
I plan on doing my first non-kyc buy tomorrow and never looking back, that said, before i do, is there anything you guys think i should be aware of or careful of?
or maybe you have some other favourite non-kyc options that you think are superior/safer/more private etc?

The easiest is definitely lnp2pbot I rarely use Robosats. I'm my particular case it's also a matter of liquidity.

haven't heard of this, was just looking at youtube and most vids in Spanish. do they have some kind of escrow implementation or anything to prevent from someone not paying or sending the btc?

Most (all?) P2P markets are based on escrow systems, this is no different. Seller must send a hold invoice that settles once he sees the fiat payment. I've never had a dispute but those are solved by a community manager.
There's a link to "Learn" on the website.

some kind of collateral is important when doing anon p2p seems like a good idea to me tbh

Peach just uses escrow. Users release the funds to the buyer after completion of payment.
I don't actually know what happens if a seller tries to rug a buyer by not releasing after payment. (Supposedly Peach team reviews the complaint)

I suppose there's little incentive for sellers to try and screw a buyer over, since they can't just walk off with the escrowed funds. As a buyer though, I'd be hesitant to use any form of payment that can't easily be proven after the fact.

Robosats is definitely at the top of the top 3, I would say, but in my opinion something to keep in mind is your payment method when making your Ehem purchase. You do nothing by using Robosats, via Tor, totally anonymous and then with your bank account or PayPal account, that is, making the payment transaction with a method that has KYC. I think it is best to use Monero for these operations.
PS: Another exchange site without KYC that I find very good and easy to use is LNP2PBOT

robosats doesnt support monero does it? to start at least , ill just use revolut with the logic that it's a step better than full kyc buys on binance etc

RoboSats is a good option.
What fiat payment option are you going to use?
This may influence what service is best for buy BTC
