Liquidity and spread
POL has solid liquidity on the large exchanges, so slippage is small at retail size. Your all in cost is the fee plus the spread, and the spread mostly matters on thinner venues, so weigh both rather than the headline fee alone.
Do not forget the withdrawal fee
The Polygon PoS network is very cheap, so on-chain POL withdrawal costs are low, though the exchange still sets its own fixed fee that varies by venue. If you withdraw to a wallet often, compare that fixed fee across exchanges. See network fees and withdrawal costs by chain.

There is no single cheapest venue for POL. It depends on your monthly volume, maker/taker mix, and any native-token discount. The published fee is usually the main cost on liquid majors. Check your profile in the FeeEdge calculator. POL is liquid on the majors, so the published fee is usually the main cost; also check your volume tier and any native-token discount.
Is Polygon the same token as MATIC?
It is the successor. Polygon migrated its token from MATIC to POL, so most venues now list and settle the asset as POL. If you still hold MATIC, follow your exchange guidance on the migration, and when buying today expect the POL ticker.
