Hopper is my go-to for light reveng or macOS binaries, Ghidra for Windows mainly because you can refine your typing until the decompiler window becomes very readable.

as an aside - When I was taught Ghidra the trainer said "in IDA you spend most of your time in the disassembly graph, in Ghidra I rarely leave the decompiler"

Interesting, I found Ghidras decompiler much less capable than IDA's. It generated incorrect or partial output far too often and the code generated was always extremely verbose, much less concise than IDA's, though this was shortly after the public release of Ghidra, things may have changed since.
