If you're in the Amazon/Alexa or Apple Homekit ecosystem, get an Ecobee (their higher-end models are available with either Alexa or Siri built in).
If you are using Home Assistant or Smart Things, and want everything fully local (no cloud), you'll probably want something like the Z-Wave Honeywell T6 Pro (my house came with one of those, and while it isn't as sexy as the others, it doesn't phone home).
If you're not planning on using any smart home platform, but still want a smart thermostat, your probably best off with an Ecobee (they are also compatible with most smart home platforms if you ever do decide you want that).
Hope that helps🙂
I wouldn't buy a Gen 3 or Nest-E thermostat now, simply because the Gen 4 is out (even if the Gen 3 is much more attractive, IMHO), but I expect my Gen 3 ones to continue to see support for many years - the Gen 4 is still fairly new on the market, and the first to be completely separated from the old Nest infrastructure, so I would expect it to be supported for a long time. I'm still not a fan of the "mushroom" design, but I wouldn't worry about their support period.
On a separate note, I've had my Gen 3's for quite a number of years, and have never even installed the Nest app; I've always just used Google Home for it, just like the Gen 4. I was honestly under the impression that the Nest app was deprecated a few years back, and had no idea you even could still use it.
