I started off with a cheaper non S-VHS VCR

Eh. There are good non-TBC JVC S-VHS VCRs that I'd start with instead. Not too costly (under $200) and not junk.

and a Elgato Video Capture device. I have read that the Elgato is not that desirable.

Yes, bad device, don't waste time on that bad path. You're just punishing yourself.

So I plan to read on here on how to do this with the best possilbe outcome for this project. I am getting myself confused between some posts

Excellent, and let's help you get on the right path. :congrats:

and a couple YouTube videos. One YouTube video described how to get the VHS to digital at 60 fps using a device called "Easy Capture" or "Dazzle" both are USB connected.

That video is bunk. Disregard. That Youtuber gives bad advice. Same for the goober that insists using a HDMI converter. You'll end up with video that looks pretty hideous. Easycap, for example, has may issues that ruin color, overexpose the video, etc. It's fugly.

Just looking for good straight forward setup for best outcome. I have about 30 hours of VHS I want to Digitize. If I can be pointed to the best discussion on this forum so I don't just bother people on here that would probably be best I think.

The best capture cards are OS based. So for what OS? Noting that WinXP/7 best, Win10 more problematic (some workarounds for some cards, for now), Mac and Linux tend to be impossible.
