[Q] Best phone without Knox?

Search This thread
I currently have a GS3 and it's bootloader is locked and what not from knox. I'm almost up on my contract and wanting to get a new phone. I want to be able to fully customize my phone with roms and such without having to worry about hard bricking it 100% of the time. What would be the best phone to do this with? I get my new phone in November.
