Trezor T is very secure and one of the hardware wallets that is easiest to use, however potentially vulnerable if lost unless you use a passphrase.

You don’t necessarily have to lose the HW, the device can be stolen or hacked and put back in its original place so the owner finds out it was hacked only when connect it to the UI. It should also be noted that passphrase does not represent absolute security, it is also important that it is not too simple and subject to brute force hacking.

Leger nano X, close source, however it is very secure, however if you enter the pin wrong 3 times it self reset which makes no sense, other hardware wallets it is like 15 times...

It makes more sense to me than that the device allows it to be done as many as 16 times (in case of Trezor). In case you have to reset the device for some reason, it makes more sense to do it with three wrong PINs, than with as many as 16, between which the time is doubled for each subsequent attempt. It is almost impossible for me to enter the wrong PIN 3 times in a row, unless I want to do just that.
