I use an Aqualung Nautilus which I keep in my bp/w waist band pocket with the SMB and reel. If I think I am likely to need it on the dive, I clip it to a D ring. It does not kink, and is easy to roll up and restow in its holder.
 
I have a roll up snorkel but I found it complicated... to roll it up. I mean, when I am beginning the dive it's nice to use the snorkel, but then I found it uncomfortable to roll it up while swimming when I switch to the regulator. It's also possible to loose it since during the folding up/switch to the reg the snorkel is not clipped. So I got myself another type of snorkel which is not roll up but telescopic:

I haven't tried it yet because I bought it at the beginning of the pandemic and until now I was unable to go diving. I got it on the ebay but now it seems to be out of stock...
 
I have one made by XS Scuba. Had it a bunch of years so far, and no problems. Rolls on itself with no case. Carries in my pocket easily. Once unrolled, it comes with a clip to attach it to a mask.

Not very good for snorkeling as it is wobbly, but works fine for whatit is intended for.

If you are planning on just keeping it in the dive bag, there seems to be little benefit of a rolled up snorkel. We carry a very simple and robust snorkel in three colors that you might be interested in.
