I have potential interest in starting a blog soon (about rendering of course). What are the best options currently?

Many people recommended Hugo. Do you need to self host it? If yes, then where do you host it?

If you want a WYSIWYG editor, how does Hugo work with that? Let's say I want to write my stuff using Google Docs and copy it? How much extra work to reformat + setup images + etc?

I use Hugo. It has a "local server" thing that refreshes the page as you edit the markup (and VS Code also has markup preview) so while it's not WYSIWYG it's pretty close.
I put like 20 bucks into my nearlyfreespeech.net account every year or so and that seems to be enough.
I really like that I can tweak the theme and just make sure it loads instantly without the bloat. It's just a static thing that gets downloaded (and these days, you can use twitter for comments, really). With the various blogging services you're hostage to "web crap"

I also use Hugo to good effect. I just throw it on s3 for hosting
