ABS isn't nearly as stringy as PETG, stiffer, lighter, and glues better.
PETG has the best layer adhesion and is extremely abrasion resistant.
Both can handle a Texas garage or trunk of the car. PLA will droop.

I've heard good things about ASA but it's even more expensive than ABS. Both of these let off some fairly noxious fumes/VOCs so a ventilated space is highly recommended.
I wish I would have stocked up on cheap ABS when I had the chance but I was relatively new to 3D printing and had no experience with it. It still has its place for functional parts but if you're mainly printing decorative indoor items, PLA is the way to go.

But ABS is easier for post-printing processing.
And you can expose it to alcohol fumes to really smooth and polish it up.
And ABS has a little bit higher temperature resistance. It won't melt in boiling (100c) water.
In order to prevent PLA from melting in a hot car - anneal it. Put it in a container with very fine salt and put in oven 100C (220F) for an hour.
PLA (not even annealed) is actually stronger than PETG or even carbon reinforces plastics.
There are tons of test on youtube. And annealed PLA is 30%-50% more stronger than that.
Display pieces? Nope.
