If I buy the best that either company has to offer (Pixel 8 pro or S23 Ultra)
Which one, in your opinion, would be the best Android experience and why? Would love to know your thoughts.

Those using Samsung, how do you get around the bloatware and redundant apps? I agree that Samsung typically has better hardware. Before they locked their bootloader I used them exclusively with custom roms to get a clean android experience. The Pixel line tends to only include the Google apps with no extra third party apps. Getting access to the latest Android versions on releases is also a big plus for me.
Universal Android Debloater works pretty well for this.
I just ignore them. If they pop up with any notifications I disable those.
You can disable almost all. Some are less obvious to disable, for example the Samsung Free extra home screen thing: You have to switch to your normal home screen customization by long pressing on the background, then swipe to the Free thing and switch it off on top using a switch without a label.
Disable them and hide them using a custom launcher. For what it’s worth, I like Samsung’s changes over stock Android (especially post-Material 3) to use a Pixel. It also helps that I’m using a Fold and Samsung has the best software features of any foldable.
