Well that's going to depend on the Pixel 2's price tag. See I don't want to have to get a second mortgage to get the Essential phone. It looks absolutely amazing but holy Jebus that price!
So two other aspects, other than having to sell your first born to get it. The first would be the timely updates. Stock Android does not equate timely updates (I'm looking at you Lenovo/Motorola). Being that it's Andy Rubin, I'm pretty sure those updates will come quickly but it still remains to be seen.
The last aspect is the camera. From what we can gather from reviews, it's not all that great. A software update made it better but again not that great.
Oh and some people would like to take advantage of unlimited Google Photos full resolution backups which the Essential doesn't provice.
Lastly if reviewers don't stop with the 'Essential' puns I'm boycotting the phone!
