Is this in correlation to being $/H or what are you looking for in an answer? If you look at the amount of threads recently in regards to AMD cards and the struggles of HIP and AMD Adrenaline drivers, Nvidia simply works out of the box on several fronts. So as Marcin has suggested the 2080 TI being the best bang for the buck being a USED card and going out on a limb of buying something second hand.
As for how to determine which graphics card it suitable for you, you have to overlook more than just $/H but also power draw, how much space and cooling you can provide to your card(s) and also longevity. How long do you plan on running attacks for? What type of hashes are you attacking. Maybe the hashes you are attacking aren't capable of using a GPU for its advantage but rather a CPU works better in that case.
If you think the RTX 4000 series is out of your budget, have you looked at comparisons? There is plenty of benchmarks available within this forum and also on github. Do the research, find what meets your capabilities and go from there.
From my experience, I have never had issues setting up systems with Nvidia components. I had previously used AMD back in the day which also never gave me issues back in Hashcat OCL days, but I haven't tried since but accounting from the amount of messages this forum gets for AMD issues I can say that you most likely will run into complications with that path.
