The answer is

it depends. What is your budget, are you looking for an electric or hand grinder, and what type of coffee do you need it for, espresso, or for filter/pour over/other?

If espresso, what machine are you pairing it with?
James Hoffman on youtube has some good content on youtube that's worth checking out.

FWIW, I have an old porlex hand grinder for travel, and a sage grinder for espresso. The sage is decent, I only use it for espresso so I find a setting for each batch of beans and then keep it set until the next bag. It doesn't do well if you try and switch between course and fine as there's a fair bit of grounds retention. Probably more expensive models have narrower margins, better motors and less retention. For what I paid it does the job for me.
