Buying an unlocked G4

I'm looking to buy a G4 that will be used with T-Mobile and maybe AT&T. I don't want any bloat or carrier crap on the phone. I checked Amazon but it looks like all the unlocked phones are international versions with no warranty.

Where is the best place the buy a G4? Are the ones that the carriers sell unlocked? Do they come with carrier-installed crap? Or should I buy it somewhere else? I would like one with a warranty.
 
Thanks. I'm looking for a phone that I can easily switch between carriers so I'm not locked into any one carrier. I thought the LG G4 came with antennas for all the major carriers but it appears it may not. I'll look at the Moto X Pure Edition instead as it (supposedly) has antennas for all the carriers. And it has an SD slot. Not replaceable battery, though...but I think I can live with that.

As for rooting...I've always rooted all my phones (usually keeping stock ROM but tweaking it) but I was hoping to find one without a carrier's greasy fingerprints all over it. Again Moto X PE fits the bill with a clean Android install and minimal Motorola crap. Sorry LG.
