I'm planning on running a small niche WordPress blog that I would like to monetize with adsense & possibly an affiliate program. I see there's a lot of choices for analytics available listed by users in this post. Does Adsense require Google Analytics or could I use one of these more privacy friendly ones?

Im confused why you would care for a privacy friendly option when you‘re already willing to give Google all the data anyways.
Is there a better option than adsense that pays out as well?
AdSense and Google Analytics are two separate products, you can use either, both or neither. If you have AdSense though, you've already allowing Google to track your users, so I don't think ditching Analytics would make the blog any more private.
