2016 Rootable phones

I'm looking for advice on a phone to get to root. I'm new to rooting but I'd like to run xposed framework and learn more about it.

I've seen Motorola's website offering a way to unlock bootloaders for certain phones for developers. Would that be a good route to take? Does that allow me to easily root the phone?

Are there other, better options?


Thanks for all the help!
