Now for actual attempts to be helpful: I’m looking up SPF regulations for the USA because I’m pretty sure they’re different for us but I know that on our sunscreens they can only list up to 30+ rather than listing numbers - because anything above 30 will protect you thoroughly. (oh okay apparently the same thing applies to 50+ products for you). if it’s the greasiness/smell that bothers you most, try a physical block one instead of a chemical block sunscreen - ie one based on Zinc Oxide rather than a concoction of the other chemicals. They’re usually thicker and take a little longer to rub in but they’re wayyy less greasy and yuck-feeling in my opinion. Often they’re marketed as for sensitive skin here, if that helps.
Also roll-on sunscreens are your friend if putting it on is bothersome. Any way to decrease the sheer amount that gets all over your hands is a plus in my book. I hate spray ones more, tbh, because they get EVERYWHERE. ick.
It appears that suncreen marketing is fairly heavily regulated in the USA as well as here, so basically the brand shouldn’t matter at all- it’s more about what type you want.
Anyway I hope some of that is helpful!
