LND - more solutions / wallets adopted / can use it, but has too many bugs, clogs, conflicts. CLN - light, fast, less features (but you can use plugins without changing the core code), less apps use it directly, less wallet apps, code is more fine tuned and therefore is not so buggy Acinq - stable, dedicated to specific apps / solutions, less wallet apps support it, I think is a bit under appreciated because was shadowed by LND and CLN Rust - good, I didn't test it on a dedicated node, but I like how it works in Electrum with trampoline channels
You have also Immortan implementation, that is also under rated. Is a light LN node implementation in SBW, but should have more attention on it.
For businesses I recommend CLN For playing around and learning - LND If you do specific apps, try Acinq If you write mobile apps, try Immortan If you create a desktop app try Rust.

Each one have its own flavor.
On this aspect I find very funny and on point this meme:
