Yes, as the other comment said, Pixel is actually an easy device to do this with because it has good community support.
And good operating system support
What version of pixel is recommended?
Depends on budget I guess. I went for 6A which was the cheaper model from last year after the 7 was out. I got mine for £299. The older models always drop, getting them around the time new ones comes out is really quite good value. I've not noticed any real performance issues. It's been a good step up from my old phone. I realised it was probably better to buy the lesser model a year old more frequently than buy brand new models for at least twice that. This was after my last 2 being top of the range Android phones. It depends on budget and what you're comfortable with.
It is also worth buying outright rather than contract, as to install GrapheneOS you need to be able to unlock and lock the bootloader and on come contract phones, they interfere with that.
As new as you can afford. The older the model, the shorter its remaining update lifetime.
