I use pavers sunk into a light concrete mortar mix around beds which touch grass.
It matches other finishes around the home and when sunk to a predetermined height relative to the grass allows the mower to put its wheels on the pavers to minimize trimming.
It’s fairly inexpensive, admittedly a bit more work up front to install, but aesthetically and maintenance wise far better than any of the other options I’ve tried.

8” to 10” stones to me not only work well but look good

I like metal edging. built many flowerbeds with it. Clear border between grass and flowerbed and holds up well.

Personally have railroad ties sunk about half in the ground and/or raised to keep it all level. Its aesthetically appealing with my style of house/setting and weed eating is super easy.

If you want to put a little elbow grease into it this looks clean when done. Inexpensive tool to form the concrete edge with.

I form bedding edges with a shovel making a “V trench” and then edge the grass with a string trimmer to get definition. Works best imo unless you are having an issue with soil/mulch wash out
