I have a Hero 7 Silver and a Hero 10 Black I bought last weekend. I used the 10 to make a running video yesterday and I can’t believe how much better the stabilization is. It’s an amazing camera so I’d say that’s my favorite.
I’ve had 3 different generations (4,8,10 IINM). My main headache was reliable charging (bad contact, I guess), and starting. Thinking it should be all charged and have it die shortly or not start was super annoying. It could work great, or fail. I’m still getting used to trusting it, since it seems to be behaving.
First off, use a chest mount. Don't let yourself get hurt by having GoPro mount smash through your skull if you crash. Just look on eBay for a second hand GoPro 10, they will be cheap now.
I use a GoPro 10 camera and a DJI Osmo Action 4. Both have good stabilization, and the 4K 60fps footage is incredible. You can see the results on my YouTube channel.

I have a GoPro 10 and I recently bought a DJI Osmo Action 4, and frankly, the image quality of the Action 4 is superior, even with the same 4K 60fps settings. Not to mention how easy it is to add wireless microphones!
new-ish diver here, i did a lot of research on this recently and ended up deciding that gopros are common for a reason. they’re great! with a $250 budget you can get an older model like a 10 or 11. they are currently on 13 but anything new enough that it has bluetooth/wifi to transfer to your phone is really what you need. i have an 11 and love it.

Great low-light, mic integration; watch out for lens flare.
