I like the Yubikey 5 (NFC/USB) since I can tap it on my phone and it will open the Yubico Authenticator app and display the OTP codes. Or if I need to plug it in to my computer via USB I can, and also have a USB to USBC adapter to plug it into my phone. I also changed the names on it to be more cryptic and not something like name@email.com and Service Name. The app forgets all the codes after the timer runs out too which is nice. This video has a nice overview of the features including OTP. If you do get one, I recommend getting 2 or 3. 1 primary you carry around with you, 1 at another location as a backup

The OTP usage? Mobile. You start the app, tap the Yubikey, add an OTP, tap again to write the data. From that point on, you tap it on your phone and it will open the app and display the OTPs stored on the key. The only time I plug it into the computer is when I'm unlocking a service that I enabled the hardware key on, which sadly are not many.
