90fps/90hz > 60fps/60hz > 45fps/90hz

All three feel very good so depending on the game performance and what type of battery life you want these are the best options.

higher fps = lower input latency

screen refresh rate does not affect input latency, it only affects frame pacing and how smooth the game feels.
