If you're playing Pathfinder then Foundry is hands down the best option in my opinion.
If you're running D&D 5e then Foundry with an addon named plutonium followed by the word that may or may not be import is the best option (you may have to dive into Discord to get it downloaded, but I promise it's the best VTT for D&D 5e.. yarrr).
After those, Roll20 is okay. It works, it's alright.
Word of warning, do not go to the foundry discord with anything related to plutonium. Don't mention it, don't have any screen shots showing it, pretend it doesn't exist. They are a WOTC partner and will not tolerate distribution of copyright material without a license.
Another point for Foundry.
I have never played Pathfinder. I’m mostly focused on D&D right now while I’m getting back into the hobby but I live to run a Cyberpunk Rd game at some point.
I've been hosting 5e on Foundry for my regular group for years and have used it both as a player and as a GM (with both premade modules and my own custom setting). It's pretty great, but can be a bit overwhelming as a GM at first. As a player it's pretty intuitive but it doesn't hurt to run through a tutorial video or something to become aware of the non-obvious controls.
I'm hoping to run a Pathfinder game later this year (when oir current DM decides to promote himself to player) and after playing with the setup in a sandbox I'm pretty excited about it.
