Which modal editing implementation would you suggest for Emacs?

There's no really much choice here if you want to have VIM modal editing in emacs: you need to use Evil.

The question is rather,

- do you want to start an emacs config from scratch (then you install and configure whatever plugins you want, including Evil)

- or go for one of the community managed ones? The most popular being spacemacs[1], but there's also doom-emacs[2], both are geared towards people that come from VIM and/or want to use VIM-like editing in emacs

I personally use spacemacs with a bunch of layers enabled. It uses evil mode for vim emulation.
