The 3 GPU renderers that matter are: V-Ray RT, Octane, Redshift

CPU renderers are a different story but Arnold is right up there with V-Ray. CPU renderers are tried and true, reliable and robust.

V-Ray is the only company making both CPU and GPU renderers. The GPU version can render most of the same shaders but the backward compatibility requirements slow it's progress. It's OpenCL support is always behind CUDA as well.
