NewPipe is the standard FOSS client. Doesn't have 100% of the features of the normal app but also removes most of the botnet (other than actually viewing the videos from youtube's servers, obviously).
Revanced is just a patched normal youtube apk which means it's got all of the google tracking and botnet you know and love. Some people unironically prefer it because you can use your official google subscriptions or some shit in it, I dunno. Basically it's a decent option if you really don't care about "botnet" and just want to remove ads while using something close to the official app, but for some reason there a bunch of cultists who believe that that's the ONLY way youtube should be watched and using an actual proper client is blasphemy
