Signal > Matrix/Element > RCS > SMS.

iMessage isn't in the equation because it only works on a single platform.

I could settle for this but remove telegram as it's not even E2EE by default. It's basically facebook v2.

Guess what? Neither is matrix/element.

For anyone considering Telegram for privacy:

Telegram doesn't default to encryption. All your messages are stored and can be viewed by anyone with enough privileges on Telegram's infrastructure.
Telegram's "secure" 1-1 messages are limited to the point of being useless and not worth using. It's a dark design pattern created to discourage their use, ensuring you give them all your data.
Telegram doesn't support E2EE group messages.

TL;DR - Matrix is more private than Telegram.
