The words Best and Cheep are an oxymoron. You either want a cheep computer or you want the Best computer. Sorry.

Hi,
Good day,
please suggest me some cheap and easy to use Dive Computers.This should have the ability to collect depth as well as time.
Thank you
We are going severely off topic if we start talking about Nitrox advantages for rec diving (very few, for me) and drawbacks (several and severe, as it limits significantly MOD and requires additional skills, procedures for being sure of the O2 percentage, etc.) - for what in change? A few more minutes of bottom time, after which, when you emerge, your slower tissues are more loaded by nitrogen than emerging after hitting the NDL with air?
As said, I had never the need to change the O2 percentage on my Leonardo, yet.
But according to the manual, it appears barely simple (everything is very simple with this device, as it can do just a small fraction of things you can do with other computers).
Judge yourself. The manual is here: https://www.cressi.com/easyUp/file/instructions/IB_LEONARDO_EN.pdf
The instruction for setting the Nitrox O2 percentage is on page 20:

Just tried it, less than 30 seconds.
Is this really more complex than with other computers? I do not know, the only other computer I used in the past was a very old Aladin, and at that time there was no Nitrox...
You must set Nitrox if you Dive alternative gas?Well, there is absolutely nothing to set on the Leonardo. You just dive and it starts automatically. Pressing the button has the only function of illuminating the screen. Nothing can go wrong!
Simple things are just... simple!
Of course it has nothing to do with a powerful modern computer, like a Teric or the like.

Hmmm. And how do you set the O2 % for Nitrox?
