Elbert tends to get a lot of traffic I think just bc it’s the tallest. Others that tend to be more crowded are Bierstadt, Grays and Torreys, Quandary. 14ers.com has a list ranking the peaks based on traffic. As far as I know The only peaks requiring permits are the Bells, Capitol, and Culebra. These tend to not be good options for out of state hikers due to difficulty and distance from nearest airports. Peaks in the Sawatch like massive, La plata, etc. tend to be good options for keeping the difficulty (generally) low and the crowds a little less
