On one hand, I can't use Soul Silver for my Pokemon Bank which I wanted to do with all the generations. I want to play from first gen to the newest and I already beat Pokemon Yellow so I wanted to go to Crystal but I'm not entirely sure I want to play the game as its dated and the Heart Gold and Soul Silver games were pretty damn good....

is it worth it just to play Soul Silver or just go with Crystal since its not going to be that big of a deal?

If you actually want to keep your shit after your playthrough is done (or get Celebi, if it's the eshop version), then Crystal. Otherwise, HGSS will probably be a better overall experience.

They're both technically "dated" though.

Depends on if you want the modern experience or the original. Original Gen 2 is still a good vibe imo but the remakes have tons of new things packed that make it a entirely different experience

This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature.

its the eshop one. You can get Celebi in the e-shop version?

yeah that's why I'm on the fence...but I don't know now. If the e shop Crystal has Celebi, my answer might already be made.

Yep. They coded in the GS Ball event to occur after becoming champion (by going to the Goldenrod Pokemon Center), which ends up with a Celebi encounter. It's only for the eshop versions of Crystal specifically; Gold/Silver won't get it.

The Celebi is also not shiny locked, if you care about such things. You're going full original odds for it though, meaning 1:8192. I went for mine recently and got it; I didn't count my attempts but I don't think it took me much more than around a thousand, so I lucked out.

I don't think I'd want to try for shiny. I don't care about much things but I missed out on several generations of Pokemon from 5 and onward. I think I played a few minutes of White and some of Y and haven't touched Sun or Moon. I did beat Shield though and played some of Scarlet.

I bought almost all of the games though because I wanted to fill my Pokemon bank up and complete it. Maybe I should continue that through Crystal then.

This. HG/SS is a better game, but Crystal will let you get Celebi and transfer what you catch into Bank/Home.
