Phazyonite is much rarer than other Minerals, which can be earned in a multitude of ways in greater quantities. Right now you can buy cosmetics by spending either Phazyonite or Minerals: nothing is Phazyonite-only.

Is this always going to be the case? I'm "scared" of spending Phazyonite because tomorrow there might be a bunch of cosmetics that we can ONLY buy with Phazyonite. At that point it would be unfortunate to have spent all my Phazyonite and still have lots of Minerals that I can't use for anything.

Are always going to have a choice to pay cosmetics with Phazyonite or Minerals, or should we save the first because it might become the only pay option for some cosmetics in the future?

Like ZetzMemp mentions, it's here to stay. It's meant to be a currency used only for cosmetics - the idea was that new players would prioritize equipment upgrades and not get new cosmetics, so with phazyonite we're giving them something so they won't have to choose one of the other, and can get some fancy pants + shooty gear.
