Java or Bedrock - which one should I actually buy?

Starting Minecraft on PC for the first time. My friends play on phones and Xbox so crossplay sounds nice, but I also want mods, shaders and redstone contraptions that behave properly. Everyone online just says 'it depends'. What are the real differences that matter day to day if you mostly play survival with a couple of friends?

on pc you don't have to pick, java and bedrock come together now when you buy it. if you want mods and the classic servers it's java. if you want to play with friends on console or phone it's bedrock
