It's still the only real option, all of the Chinese brands lock their bootloaders, and so does Samsung.

Samsung phones can still be rooted, at least outside of the US (the only place I see complaints about is when people buy Samsung phones in the US from a carrier). It is a bit annoying though that you have to link your phone to a Google and a Samsung account and keep it active and connected to the Internet for at least 7 consecutive days because of Samsung's anti-theft system.
It's quite difficult to obtain EU SKUs for Samsung phones in the US, even without buying through a carrier. (If anyone knows an easy way to get them, let me know!)
eBay?
