Firefox vs Waterfox
I have used many of these forks and yes, I would rather say they are really good out of the box in terms of privacy and also hardening. However, whenever they make some changes after firefox updates, they become somewhat late in terms of their update so you'll be missing out on that part, rest is great. What I use is the original Firefox, along with ublock and some custom configs along with arkenfox and a customized overrides file which takes care of maximum performance and usability. I also maintain a repository at https://github.com/prirai/firefox-config so make sure to check it out. I'll be updating it soon.

Hardening Firefox on both PC and Android
If you don't wanna go through all this, you can also use user.js maintained by other people. Here's the link to my own setup. Other setup that I highly recommend is this one (I was using this before I created my own setup). The difference between the two is that I follow the suggested way of implementing your own changes in the arkenfox's user.js according to the wiki while the author of the latter one edits the user.js directly. I would still suggest making your own overrides for the arkenfox's user.js but if other's user.js satisfy your needs then that's fine as well.
