Portable SSD: simplest option

A sealed portable SSD is convenient, compact and usually well supported. It is the easiest recommendation when you do not already own an NVMe drive.

NVMe enclosure: more flexible

An enclosure lets you choose and replace the drive. It is especially attractive if you already have a spare SSD.

Do not pay for speed the connection cannot deliver

A very fast NVMe drive inside a 10 Gbps USB enclosure will be limited by the enclosure and USB link. Match the parts instead of maximizing one specification.
