I noticed that my cousins had something like this.

What model or brand should I get?

Does this model work well?

Tethering is faster and more secure (hotspots can be cracked).

Hotspots are as secure as any WiFi network. That is to say, it depends on the encryption standard you use (WPA2/WPA3) and the password/shared key. If you use a strong 40-character password with WPA3, no one's cracking that. With a password like that, even WPA2 is sufficient.

True, but rarely have I seen people use a 40-character password for their wifi network. Especially not a phone hotspot.

Who is going to be cracking your hotspot while you sit in your car?

The attacker doesn't need to be next to you to crack the password, they just need to collect enough packets and then crack it at home.
