I liked the game, although the road trip nature seemed to make choices (outside of the Daniel developing ones) matter even less than normal since the characters weren't see again.

I got Parting Ways ending and Finn joined me in Mexico. Watching the other endings online I feel like it was the best one? Redemption was way to depressing imo.

I definitely think your point about the choices is a valid criticism, though I think the road trip nature is still one of the biggest appeals of the game to me. Some combination of the coronavirus situation and my own quarter life crisis is making feel increasingly trapped and anxious, so it really was a perfect time for me to play LiS2 as a form of escapism. It makes me want to take a cross country roadtrip myself! Maybe next year when I have some more PTO saved up and this coronavirus shit has hopefully blown over.

Anyway, I ended up getting the Redemption ending, and even though it is super depressing and bittersweet and made me cry like a baby, I still think it's the best one.

I tried to play Sean as morally as I could, and Redemption's the only ending that doesn't involve murdering a shit ton of police officers to get to Mexico (even if Sean has every right to be resentful towards the police). Thematically, it makes sense for Sean to make the ultimate sacrifice for Daniel so that he has a chance at living a normal life, as depressing a thought as that is. My initial thought was that the Parting Ways ending is better, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that one's pretty depressing too. First of all, Sean and Daniel and separated, and that's no bueno :(. Secondly, I've been quarantined for only two weeks and I'm absolutely miserable, so I can't imagine Daniel is leading a very fulfilling life being on what I assume is indefinite house arrest. Though it's nice that Sean can end up with that lovable goober/dumbass, Finn.
