Do you want bibs because you’ve used bibs while bikepacking and prefer them or do you want bibs because you think that’s the “right” thing to wear?
I’ve found wool boxer briefs (I use Icebreaker because the seam doesn’t go over your sit bones) and hiking pants (or shorts) to be way less of a pain to deal with and far more sanitary.
If you’re committed to bibs and know what you’re getting yourself into then I find the Black Bibs gravel bibs (with pockets) to be pretty good for the price. That being said I don’t use them all that much because of the above.

Albion ABR1’s. Expensive but the best shorts I’ve had by a long shot. Worth every penny if your hauling distance. Comfy, the back pocket is cavernous and understated in looks. 👌
