I have a Tacx blue matic (I think) which I used once. Fine trainer but I changed to a direct drive. Would happily sell it cheap as it's just sitting under the bed. It's got the speed and cadence sensor stuff for Zwift/Tacx app.
I researched direct drive/smart trainers pretty heavily but standard trainers was mainly interested in adjust-ability and noise. Volares are the most basic of trainers but that's generally OK - elastogel ones are quieter and reduce tyre wear.

The cycleops basic yellow is a good, cheap, trainer. I've fucked many a magnetic trainer in 10 years (mainly as they're second hand and I'm inept). The yellow trainer is working well so far.
Blue matic is good.

I’d go for one that has smart resistance control, makes it a bit more interesting (Zwift/Erg workouts)
