Ive tried multiple ones but I keep going back to Samsung keyboard just because it works so dam well.
Gboard but with network permissions turned off. Works great. Haven't had any issues with an autosuggest and swiping. I don't use autocorrect.

Swift key with auto correct cranked to 11. Haven't found any other keyboard yet that lets me smash any nearby keys and have it fix it just fine.
While I normally use whatever the default keyboard app is, I do sometimes use Unexpected Keyboard. It doesn't have auto-correct but it has more keys available than even normal keyboards do. It may take some getting used to though as, for example, to use the "alts" for each key, you have to swipe in that direction. So for example if you wanted to press "Esc" with the default settings, you'd press q and swipe diagonally down and to the right.
For customization, I don't know if you can add images or gifs but there is some visual options and you have pretty much full control over the layout of the keyboard and what keys it has.

Just recently installed Gboard, because stock Samsung keyboard is so trash it gives me headaches.
RIP TouchPal
Gboard now (yes it sucks it sends data to Google but it's the best keyboard and works great on my zFlip cover screen)
I want to like futo but I think it just needs more time. I'm using Gboard without the Internet access turned on (I'm using graphene OS) so I'm not worried about Google knowing anything I type.
I mostly use the swipe to text feature and I just haven't found another keyboard that does it better than Gboard (unfortunately)
