Don't get a blockchain lockbox.
That's basically a cheap version of the nano s with support for way less coins than the original nano s and AFAIK also only working with the blockchain.com interface.
And it costs almost the same.
Better just get the original ledger nano s. Costs the same, but you can store way more than just 4 different coins on it. And you can use any compatible wallet you want (ledger live, electrum, wasabi, etc..).
Yubikey, as already mentioned, is not a hardware wallet, but a security-token.
It is being used for 2FA (to secure accounts which support 2 FA) and can be used for other stuff too (e.g. decrypting your harddrive and unlocking your computer / locking it upon removing).
But it can't hold your seed or private keys.
For secure crypto storage -> Hardware wallet
For securing accounts with 2 FA -> Security-token (e.g. yubikey)

Binance suggested YubiKeys because like bitmover said, using a YubiKey is a good way of handling 2 factor authentication. Remember, Binance is an exchange, and if you have an exchange account, 2FA is absolutely necessary. But it doesn't mean that you're going to store your funds on the exchange just because you have a YubiKey. While it may make your account more secure, take note that Binance itself can be hacked no matter how secure your account is.

Binance is recommending a good security practice. But you don`t need this specific device, as hardware wallets can also do that.
Ledger and Trezor, more info here:

Yubiko is an interesting 2FA hardware.
It is not designed to store cryptocurrency.
You should use Trezor or Ledger as hardware wallets (most reliable companies).
Both of them have support to FIDO2 technology (they do what Yubikey does), so you shouldn`t buy Yubiko IMO.
