My take would be using grapheneos and give the duress pin when asked for it, that way if they put the pin the entire phone gets wiped.
I know I'm not answering your question directly but if you use lineageos with an unlocked bootloader the best you can do is deny to give the passcode but eventually depending on their resources they will get in.
That may not be the best advice. It might get you charged with destroying evidence. If you have graphene and its locked down, then your best bet is probably just to hope you and your device are out before they can pull anything from it.
If you have something highly illegal in your device I think it is better to be charged for destroying evidence than something worse or even if the police find something that can get you in trouble with someone worse than them.
Totally fair. So I guess make the judgment based on the lesser of two evils there.
