There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!

Brother, obviously.
If you think you will ever use the scanner, get one that can scan to FTP. They are ~$30 more, but usually come with a document feeder too.
Then look into paperless-ngx
Like everyone says. Brother. But just buy it used. You don’t need a new one. People are recommending them for a reason. They last.
Can only share my thoughts on the matter. Got myself a brother HL-L2320D a couple of years back and I’m not unhappy with it but I would avoid it if I could time travel. Really wish it had a dedicated Ethernet port and a scanner and I urge you to look for those features, especially since scanning apps are going the subscription route nowadays. My use case is probably different from yours but I didn’t print in color at all in the past idk 5 years now so you might save money on getting a monochrome one but really its up to you for that part.
