Our party uses Roll20, but mostly due to sunk cost of content, it works fine.
We tried Foundry VTT but from.time to time there were connectivity issues. I'd say be sure your connection is very stable and you understand how to work your network/firewall/proxy settings before hard committing to Foundry. That said, it is a pretty nice system overall.
Now a couple of options you should be aware of are AboveVTT which is an extension that converts D&D Beyond into a full VTT people really like, good if you already rely on D&D Beyond.
Then there is the FOSS option MapTool, which is a full featured self-host VTT akin to Foundry, but totally free. If you like this kind of projected don't mind community built documentation, this is a legitimate contender.
This looks awesome, haven't heard of it. I wonder if I could get my Roll20 group to switch over and host our game independently...
