If the aim is to get away from Google, it is probably best to run something more Android-like, such as LineageOS or GrapheneOS. Stick to well supported hardware and it will just work. PostmarketOS is more like a generic embedded system.

How is that "getting away from google" if they're both based on Android, which is a Google-developed operating system?

Yeah, but they don't include proprietary Google apps such as Google Play services and all the crap that depends on it. Only open source stuff.
