In terms of result quality? In my opinion, based on my particular search habits:
Kagi > SearXNG > Brave > Startpage/Google > DDG/Ecosia/Bing
Everyone is going to have their own opinions on each of those companies, but from a results lens, that’s go what I find to be most/least effective.

DDG uses Bing under the hood for the main results, so it doesn’t really matter too much in terms of results.

You can also use Ecosia, if your prefer a different shade of lipstick on your ~pig~ search results.
