You really don’t want a wheel-on trainer. You’d be much better off with a direct drive trainer (where you take your rear wheel off).
Tacx, Wahoo, and CycleOps/Saris are the leading brands. There are various models with various power accuracies, etc. Take a look at DC Rainmaker’s Trainer Guide
To run Zwift, download the app and it’s a monthly subscription at $15/month. You can run it on PC, Mac, Apple TV, iPad, or even iPhone. The experience is much better on bigger screen. I run Zwift on an Apple TV plugged into a 50” TV.
I hope that helps point you in a direction. Let me know if you have more questions!

I'll save up for one of those. I just bought a third bike (SS steel gravel bike) and got it way less than my budget, so I was just looking at using the remainder. That trainer I linked is 30% off through 4/15, so it brings it down like $350 for a smart trainer. I get that the direct drives are better though.
On the direct drives, will I have to buy an additional cassette that matches my bike to install on the trainer?
