Best way to figure out which one you're happiest with is to try them out yourself, or look at an existing comparison list. Or else pare things down to a more specific question, because I doubt anyone is going to do a lengthy comparison here.

Highly recommend this. Spent months with hyprland then sway and eventually realized I prefer a traditional DE but I was glad to have tried them and learning them felt great.
