MODERATORS
Both are fine choices depending on your requirements. The thing with external alias services, you are not in control of the addresses/domain. Catch-all addresses are essentially aliases you manage, but something like Simplelogin does have the benefit of hiding your domain name.
Spam is not a big deal on catch-all. A couple of times a year I do get a spam mail to some arbirtary address, but that's more or less it.
Same experience
Oh , that's cute this spammer thinks there must be an admin@mydomain.com etc
Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.
So I do use them a lot for suppliers en services, but for registering initially and password reset. But I can't use it to contact support by mail.
Mostly I rely on forms or self service portals when I need it as a customer.
On Protonmail, I just create a new address if I need to send email from that address. Afterwards I just delete it, freeing up the address slot.
