So I'm stuck deciding which of these two routes would work best for my needs. I'm in the Rank & Rent industry and attempting to create and manage dozens of GMBs/Workspace accounts/etc.

1) Your own 4g proxies run through Proxidize or a similar service
Pros - More anonymous, harder to trace, more IPs
Cons- Much more expensive, harder to setup, hardware required.

2) Tested Dedicated Proxy. Find a seller you trust, purchase some dedicated proxies, then test & wait to see if proxy is good or not.
Pros- Easy and quick to scale, super cheap vs #1, has worked in my few tests so far.
Cons- ?

So this is where I'm at so far. Would love other peoples inputs!
 
In case you decide to do it for a short time it is better to go for the dedicated ones.

You should also keep in mind that you can spend some time maintaining your current infrastructure, I didn't know about proxidize but it might not be too much of a problem or too much maintenance.

Good luck!
 
Maintenance of own 4G Proxies is a hassle. It's a business in its own nature. If you could setup and maintain your own 4G Proxies. Perhaps, you should simply start selling them here on BHW. That being said, I meant to say that maintenance of 4G Proxies is not easy.
Therefore, I would suggest you to find yourself a proxy provider with 24/7 support. So that in case if the proxies go DOWN, you'll have someone to replace the device for you.
 
As a 4g proxy "farmer" I'd suggest both :-) depending on amount of data sent via proxies.

Own farm:

+ you are 100% sure your proxies are not oversold and IP's are clean
+ you can warm up the IP's or cool them down
+ privacy, data is not logged
- bills for data plans, hassle with SIM cards, 4g and landline internet outages
- invest into hardware
- issues with the modems & hardware, adding some monitoring, ideally you want somebody be available 24\7 to reset the modems or servers or USB hubs

4G proxies from a provider

+ cheap, easy to hire, easy to fire
+ you can buy any IP from any location
+ customer support
- you are not sure if you are the only user of the IP's
- data might be logged
- you don't have much control over speed and some custom settings (e.g. ipv4 vs ipv6, DNS leak etc)
 
Well how much time does your ranking tasks takes ? like running a proxy farm and managing it requires additional time
