Just remember you don't need to actually look at the numbers on Strava or whatever. I've tracked almost every ride I've been on for like 10 years (originally just raw gps tracks from an old now-discontinued app, now Strava and Garmin from dedicated GPS devices, and sometimes raw tracks from OSMAnd (better maps, good for new-to-me spots)). But I've literally never let those numbers make me feel bad about a ride. They're just a reference to remember where I've been and who I was with.
If just seeing some numbers can ruin a ride, I think you have bigger problems than which device or app to use.
