Pearson provides you with a good introduction that mostly focuses on mechanics and electromagnetism but pays very little attention to more advanced topics rather than briefly presenting them. They also omit methods used in physics that rely on mathematics more complex than the introductory courses you usually take in the first two years.

Feynman, you can find here:

Never heard of that one, must be awful.

Feynman is gay shit, loads of filler nonsense and tangential "nerd joke". I'd prefer book with derivations and problems

Feynman, definitely

Feynman is only good after you've already learned the subject. I think University Physics is good. You don't need to spend too much time on it before you learn classical mechanics from Taylor, followed by quantum mechanics from Mcintyre and electromagnetism from Griffiths.

It's actually most important that you learn calculus and linear algebra. I liked Spivak's proof based calculus books but honestly you only really need Stewart's calculus for physics. On the other hand I highly recommend learning linear algebra with proofs from Axler or Friedberg, this will help you with quantum mechanics.

thanks for the advice friend! the Axler book looks amazing, it makes concepts like vector spaces seem so simple!!!

University physics. Anything by Feynman should be looked at with a lens of suspicion

Feynman is bad for an introduction for physics. He attempts to provide a conceptual understanding of physics, but without a skeletal idea of physics to begin with, you aren't able to follow him as he often omits essential details to actually use the methods. Read a physics introductory textbook, do the problems, and then read the Feynman lectures to fill in some gaps.

university physics. feynman gives too much too quick and often just gives useless derivations that are debatable like those conserning electrodynamics.
