What is the best exchange to liquidate a relatively large amount of Bitcoin? (USA)

I'm not a whale or anything but I have a fair amount of coin acquired back in the days where you could actually mine this shit on a GPU pool. Say I wanted to sell some to put a down payment on a house or pay off student loans, what is the best way of doing that?

I know I have to pay capital gains tax, I'm planning on doing everything by the book. What exchange will allow me to sell an amount in the 10's of thousands (of USD) and has the best exchange rate?

I've been shopping around, and fees seem misleading because one exchange will have a lower trading or withdraw fee or something but then the amount that BTC is sold for will also be less. Basically what I'm asking is, where will I get paid the most for my coin?

Also coinbase is probably not an option for me. I got banned back in like 2014 for having two accounts on their platform and/or lying about being 18.

Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone. question has been answered. I'll compare what I would net at kraken and gemini and post back incase anyone else in the same boat comes across this post.
