PSRR in op amp

Hello, I have a question about the PSRR and the noise in an op amp.

Which configuration has the best PSRR? Is it the telescopic one or the folded cascode? I know that to improve PSRR, we need to have a high output resistance and symmetric architecture ( can someone pls tell me why symmetry play a role in PSRR?). From this information, the telescopic seems to be the best one no?

Also, when it comes to noise, is it better to have a CMOS op amp or to use BJT? I can't tell which type of transistor is the noisiest. Sometimes I find websites saying that it is BJT because it's a bipolar device ( and so both carriers are affected by any variations), others say that BJT is better than MOSFET in analog circuits

Thank you in advance

A MOSFET op amp is generally noisier than both JFET and bipolar op-amps.
JFETs will be quieter than bipolar for a high source impedance, and bipolar will be quieter than JFETs for a low source impedance.
Never forget to add the current noise to the calculation!
