My preferred font, Hack, made it to the final four before losing on a toss up. IBM Plex Mono won and is pretty damn close.

The deal-breaker with Hack, for me, is its curly quotes—they are just far too indistinct. A lot of monospace fonts make this mistake, although there's a pleasing number featured here that don't.
IBM plex mono also won out for me, although I’ve been using Fira Code for ages.
I used this to pick IBM Plex Mono for Gwern.net, which narrowly beat out the Adobe Source Code Pro which ranked highly & we had been using before.
