My set up moved to a $1000 smart trainer about 12 years ago that i used almost daily for 10 years. Past few years I alternate with rowing just because i am trying to work out my upper body too
As far a which type to get though, this article has a chart comparing them (edit: electromagnetic is a “smart trainer”).
if i were starting again i probably would do a fluid trainer since its the most road-like feel without going into smart trainers which can range from $400-1500. The road-like feel just makes it more enjoyable and the fluid trainers have come down in price since i first started
