I have a new Phone Plan starting in a couple of days. I have the option to choose a Physical Sim or eSim, both are similarly easy to get going. What are some +/- of both, what should I use? Or does it even matter at all?

One thing I think of but have no conclusion to yet is when my Phone gets stolen, is that a concern then?

Physical leaves the option of a second one for travel or similar.

You can have a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. These days you may have to have at least one of them be an eSIM, as many phones only have one physical SIM slot.

Yes, I know. Many phones will also be restricted to one active esim profile at once.

Don’t android phones have 2 esims?

Also a lot easier to transfer to another phone if yours breaks
