I use Hyperion and like it a lot.
Why do you need a new launcher? You're good to go for several years until (if) Android implements some completely new feature. Right now Nova has pretty much everything.

I use default oneui launcher i think it looks good
OneUI is much much better than Touchwiz was. It has been nice to see Samsung actually putting effort into their main launcher and having the options to add things (and that they can augment stuff while using other launchers). I was using Nova on both my phone and my old Tab S2, but found OneUI to "feel" more correct on my Tab S8+ than Nova. Though Nova has seemed better for my phones over the years.
