Many people still do not use unique emails with their passwords, so below is a few options.

When you sign up for online services, newsletters, or contests, using an alias prevents your main email address from being exposed to potential spam, phishing attempts, or data breaches.

If an alias starts receiving spam or unwanted emails, you can pinpoint exactly which website or service may have been compromised or sold/traded your information. You can then disable or delete that specific alias without affecting your main inbox.

Aliases make it harder for attackers to gather information about you and reduce the likelihood of your primary email being used in password-spraying attacks.

I suggest using your own domain. It makes it easier to move services if one shuts down or raises pricing.

I also suggest random email generation: s9d8fhg73j@domain.com instead of service name @ domain.com (ex: wjunction@domain.com or banking@domain.com) doing service@ makes it easier to guess the login to brute-force access to your services.
