I know it's not the most popular option here, but Namecheao served me well for several years now. No real complaints that I can think of.

Porkbun or namecheap depending on use case and cost. Both have been reliable.

I wish porkbun had a zone file import tool.
I have most of my domains on Cloudflare
I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They're a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.
They were close to Gandi pricing. Gandi just hiked up their prices on most TLDs by 75-100%. For my next renewal all my domains show up as €28 now. Netim is actualy looking pretty good right now with €15-22. 😆
I use Hover, and have had no issues. Prices seem fair, and the private whois data by default is nice.
OVH, It's been years since I thought about a change.
Honestly, I just go through Dreamhost since I have my hosting there anyway or Route 53, since they have full DNS customisation options.
I recommend namesilo, and the reason is because they give privacy shield for free in all your domains, also good prices, and also you can pay with bitcoin at market price. I kind of hate to put my personal data and my financial data in the same spot, that's why the bitcoin part is important to me.
I use blacknight.com their support is unreasonably good, plus they're local to me.
I've been using porkbun and never had any issues.
GoDaddy. Easy, no hassle. DNS config is OK. There are libraries to programmatically configure DNS (for Let's Encrypt).
