You could start with the SharePoint Online service description, which compares also with SharePoint Server, though it doesn't mention 2019.

Also, check out the resources mentioned here - Announcing General Availability of SharePoint Server 2019, like the reviewer’s guide and further info here and here.
I'd personally evaluate both solutions perhaps (trial versions) or work with a Microsoft partner to assist with this and compare them directly. It's a big decision unless there are very specific reasons to go on-prem, Online is predominantly the way forward but it really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
Thanks for the valuable information .. Can we use "Security & Compliance" features of 0365 if we plan for Hybrid deployment in SharePoint 2019.
Thanks Manoj
There are many considerations but one of the big benefits of SPO is the continuous innovations that will hit the service but not make it to the server for years. The other big consideration is that compliance, security, and other features are really hardened by the O365 platform vs. being specific to server. A good example is file auditing in OneDrive which is a huge compliance issue. These are just a few examples. If you haven't seen it, I'd take a look at the O365 roadmap for SharePoint among other services: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=SharePoint
Best of luck!
