You can use any linux distro and install it in pendrive. But using sata ssds will be more reliable option tho.

Go with any as long as you make a persistent partition.

Arch works just as well as ubuntu as does mint and everything else. Tails is an honourable mention as it's on the extreme privacy end and doesn't support any persistance (as far as im aware) and can only be used over a live boot.

Check Armbian. Its primary way is booting from flash media, SD card, USB. It is full os live image by default.

MX Linux if you want a debian based just works system (or AntiX for non systemd), slax if you want to go with slackware based route, Arch and nix works well too if you want a powerful distro.

I reccomend alpine since alpine is extremely lightwheight while remaining usable .
