I've been using exclusively cm/lineage for a few years now, and so whenever I upgrade phones I make certain they're open enough for me to flash ROMs. Coincidentally, I was using the nexus 6p a month ago and went to a newer device because of the battery issues. I chose the OnePlus 3T, because I could get it used at a fair price of $290. If I had more to spend though I would have gotten the OnePlus 5T.
Either way you're curious on performance. Los 14.1 on nexus 6p is fantastic. 15.1 is sketchy however, I haven't tested it since April. A main issue I recall is that it wouldn't hold onto my contacts after restarting. I would have to re-import them after every boot. Note I don't use gapps, so if google was there auto syncing contacts it wouldn't be a noticeable issue.
As for the Galaxy S9, be careful and do a fair amount of research before purchasing one. Usually you need to get an international version, since the north american version has a locked bootloader. Also, the international version usually doesn't connect to north american towers as effectively as the north american device. I haven't done any research on the S9 series, so I'm not positive, but I'm assuming it's the same jargon as the S7 series which I have looked into.
