Ok been trying for a week to get this question answered but either places I ask can't or won't answer or what I look up still didn't answer the question.

I am new to switches so here is my run down. I will be running 15 Raspberry Pi 3 B+'s for dedicated website hosting. I will be powering them by POE. All 15 Pi's will be set outside my firewall. What switch will work for my intended use? Thank you

If you need VLANs or other features to segment the Raspberry Pi devices or features along those lines, or if you need routing on the switch, then you need a managed switch.

If you just want to plug them up and don't care if they can talk to each other directly without any control, then an unmanaged PoE switch would work.
