S26 Ultra + Watch 9 vs Pixel 11 Pro XL + Watch 5 — which combo for someone who keeps devices a long time and cares most about camera + battery?

Upgrading from a Pixel 8 Pro and planning to keep whatever I buy for years, so camera quality and battery life matter way more to me than anything else. My 8 Pro has struggled with heavy tasks, and after a software update my Wi-Fi is basically dead. I also have a Galaxy Tab S9+ which I use intermittently. I travel a lot too. Torn between the S26 Ultra + Watch 9 and the Pixel 11 Pro XL + Watch 5, know the Pixel is too new for real-world reviews yet, but curious what people think based on specs/past Pixel generations vs Samsung's current lineup. Watch Ultra 2 is out of the question for me, too heavy/bulky, but the Watch 9's battery issues I keep reading about are a real concern. Which combo would you pick and why?
