Gurobi is by far the best on the market IME. Performance is very good even on poorly designed models. The API has a lot of convenient features and while it is expensive it's not that awful to run it with their container licensing and even SaaS solutions now.

Xpress is pretty good at performance if you put a bit more effort into getting the model right and has very reasonable pricing.

CBC is increadibly slow compared to commercial solvers. Documentation is awful and it seems like they can't even compile it sensibly anymore because they forked autotools at some point.
