Privacy-focused tablet: LineageOS or /e/ OS? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking to acquire or set up a Wi-Fi only tablet that is focused on privacy. I've been starting to do some research among the potential OS options and I wanted to ask this community whether it is better to go with LineageOS or /e/ OS for it, or potentially another option. I've tried additional software on other devices that at least help make them more private, but I really want to set something up that is truly private using a tablet.

Edit: I'm also considering Pixel Tablet + GrapheneOS

the version of privacy expressed here is geared towards well resourced actors like state governments who have inexhaustible armies of experts; which is arguably the highest gold standard when it comes to privacy.

if you understand that you're hopelessly outmatched by the american or isreali governments no matter what you do, then privacy takes on a more practical meaning. as in, you understand that you're millions of times more likely to have your privacy violated by actors like advertisers or local police and this where there's room for debate between graphene and lineage and i get that from de-googleing communities like this one
