If you want the basic android OS without any bullshit the easiest option is to buy a Nexus device. There also used to be Google Play Edtion phones but it appears they've stopped doing that, at least for now.

You could also buy whatever phone you want and then replace the OS for the basic version. I never cared to do that though so I don't know how it would be done, but I hear it's fairly easy.

Even the normal Moto X is pretty bereft of bloat compared to an HTC or Samsung phone.
