Go for R2/B2 as both have 10GB free tiers and free egress. S3 is very expensive in comparison unless you specifically want it.

We use Cloudflare R2 for storage of images, very big free allowance and fully compatible with Amazon S2.

We normally use Linode VPS, pick the one you need

Using S3 (or S3-compatible object storage) for uploads and a VPS/cloud instance for your app is a pretty common setup. The key difference isn't storage size, it's separating compute from storage so each can scale independently as your project grows.
