If you like Samsung devices and want an unlocked bootloader, buy an international model of whatever Samsung device you choose and buy it directly from Samsung, do not buy it from a carrier. International devices have unlocked bootloader or at least can be unlocked.

i do like Samsung devices but even if i have an unlocked bootloader its hard to move between firmware because of security versions.
is HTC easy to change firmware versions?
or an unlocked boot loader only guaranty a carrier free device

Unlocking bootloader doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being carrier free or not.
