I can't really compare them because I've not used LineageOS, but I got a Fairphone Gen6 with /e/OS a few weeks ago and it's better than I expected.

One of the problems with custom roms is you have to unlock the bootloader to install them which can then prevent some apps from working. I didn't have a problem with that because the phone came with /e/OS pre-installed with the bootloader locked. Depending on what you need the phone to do it might be worth considering. It gets quite frequent updates.

The main issue I had with /e/OS was the launcher was too basic for my needs. However, this was easily fixed by just installing a different one. Most of the default apps are good enough that I haven't needed to find a replacement for them.
