Hello guys! I'm wondering what you guys are using and which anime tracking sites do you deem the best. Currently I'm using MyAnimeList, used AniDB but later on still returned to MAL even though AniDB seems more advanced. Not saying that MAL is bad, but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives worth using/supporting instead

The big two are Anilist and MAL. Both have their pros and cons. Anlist supports a variety of rating approaches (particularly nice if you want to do sub-integer rating), but MAL allows greater customization of your list.

Usually it's really more of a matter of how you interface with them (or others) since by and large their core functionality is pretty similar across the board.

Sub integer rating sounds like a nice thing! Sometimes I miss the 0.5 step and simple 1-10 ain't really enough. I've used more rigorous scoring to achieve a better view of what I liked more on MAL which is a good thing, but nevertheless, I still miss that .5 I just might give Anilist a shot, I hope it supports importing from MAL

Hi, I migrated from MAL to Anilist a few years ago, I'm pretty certain it does import from MAL

It does support, I've just openned an account! It supports only importing from MAL actually, and it offers it during the profile creation. Now for the other way around, AniList doesn't support exporting, which is kinda lame... but seems there are third party offline and web tools that actually can extract data from it, which is nice

You can also use 1-100 scoring, but it's essentially the same as using desimals, just looks prettier I guess.

I hope it supports importing from MAL

It does, you just need to export your list from MAL and import the file to AL.
