Most 90's sets will do Rgb.
To he sure, if you're getting a consumer set, the Sony trinitron is the way to go.
Having owned a fair few...it's the best consumer grade set, the Rgb picture on a retro console with a trinitron is mind blowing.

most of the middle to later generation crt tv's support both 50hz and 60hz, it's highly likely any crt tv you find will support both
how many vertical lines a crt tv can display is a different story, with the better brands often allowing for more lines to be displayed
also getting a more common brand name rather than an obscure one makes it more likely that the information required can be found via google (eg. service manual) regarding getting into the tv service menu so you can make adjustments such a vertical height and so on... and i would never get a crt tv if it doesnt come with the original remote control (or at least, the original remote control can be found on ebay for a 'sane' price...)
ps. i recommend checking your local facebook marketplace, your local gumtree website, and your local freecycle website... car boot sales, local cheap 'household goods' type shops in your area, or if you are feeling daring, go down to your local rubbish tip (er, i mean 'recycling centre') and walk into the unit where the tv's are all put, and take one... i used to do that a lot, but where i am they cracked down on it more these days... jerks)
pps. it helps to walk in there as if you are dumping a tv (so u need to get a tv to start with, anything).. then walk in, dump it there, but walk out with another.. if anyone stops u to ask what u are doing, just say "oh, i changed my mind, i want to keep this.. er. 'my' tv after all.."
(i did do that once or twice and got away with it heheh)

No relation to the display, you are referring to the power supply frequency.
