Best Variant? Unlockable Bootloader? Root? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm willing to buy an S8+ outright. Is there a variant that can be rooted and bootloader unlocked? Is there a variant that you can install custom ROMs on?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to check if my Note 3 has a locked bootloader or not?
