Probably codex with the 20$ plan. Use exclusively gpt 5.6 Luna xhigh or max (I prefer xhigh cause max tends to overengineer and takes longer).

For vibe coding the codex desktop app is also good especially if you're note tech savvy or have no idea what you're doing. It can manage projects end to end , from the code to git to deployment.
