If I ever get a Yubikey at some point, I would get the one that I'll use on a lanyard.

never used YubiKey actually, personally I prefere the Open Scource tools from Nitrokey. Take a look: https://www.nitrokey.com/

@mimas2AC I have a Nitrokey as well, but support for YubiKey projects is much much bigger.

I use Duo's hardware token thing, and the Duo app, which is pretty nice though.

@bjs38381 Well, I needed an easy to use email encryption program, which also elderly people can understand, compared to GnuPG, and for security I choose YubiKeys, because they are well known and widely used and there is also very good programming language support for YubiKeys.
