First off, the Pixel ships with a ton of charging accessories... One USB-C/USB-C cable, one USB-C/USB-A cable, a C to A adapter, and a C wall adapter.
Second, for anything else you need just pick something with good reviews/brand and pay attention to the amperage. I've got this guy for the car and barely use the wall charger at night anymore because my phone is topped off within my 16 minute commutes.
Fast charging just requires a ~3A output adapter. And as for cables, I wouldn't recommend using any other than those provided by Google with a Nexus or Pixel device... some USB-C cables from Amazon have been known to fry devices.
For your usage, just pick up a $5 12v to USB converter from Amazon or Walmart - charges much much faster. The USB ports in cars are more for playing music than charging
Here is a 2 pack

Sure, it will be tomorrow probably! Remind me if I forget. I wired up a 12v plug (cig lighter style) and put this in it:

Alternatively, maybe consider a mini 12v USB adapter. Something like one of these:

These site extremely flush/flat. It's sometimes handy to have an extra USB port for power, and it honestly can look more stock than the cap that comes with the car. I had one in mine (until my wife left it in a rental car) and absolutely loved it. Need to pick up another one.
Don't know about the RDX, but the armrest compartment in the TL has both a 12V and the AUX port, so I leave it plugged into a 12V USB Charger like this one all the time.
The Miccus automatically switches on when it receives power and pairs with the last device used. Similarly, it shuts off when the charger loses power. It is essentially perfect for this application.
edit: PS - it also does not interfere with HFL and at least on Android the music pauses when I take or place a call. Again, perfect for the application (no I don't work for them).
