I would say make sure that you don't clip the whites, this is more of an in-camera thing to do, but footage can most of the time always be salvaged, so play around with a curve.
That being said I will always say a high contrast desaturated bleach bypass look, but that is me so don't take my word for it.

Thanks for the advice, can you explain more about "don't clip the whites" . Any tutorials or anything to get started?

Can't go wrong with a tutorial from FxHome
Shiny Films has one:
And here is an older one but principles never change:
And this one is on Color Correction which is not the same as color grading:
Hope one, at least, helps and points you on the right direction. Grading is more an art form than a science, I think, and knowing a little about complimentary colors never hurts. Like this omnipresent Youtube obsession with orange & teal that I just don't get... 🤣
Edit: Oh, a couple blog posts from FxHome on the subject:

"Clipping the whites" is where you overexpose parts of your footage to white. You don't want to do this and get your exposure right in camera. because if it 'clips' then you can't save the image data and darken it, because it is lost into white. In my experience it is easier to save dark footage than too bright shots
