From the creator of ripgrep, so might be biased comparison, but anecdotally ripgrep feels faster to me too http://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/#methodology

I work with a huge monorepo and ag/rg are noticeably faster. Might just be the out-of-the-box .ignore support but that's another point in favor.

Our complicated ignore rules make ag miss a directory though (known issue with ag) so rg it is.
