Definitely Nova, the beta version. The beta version has way smoother animations if you're on Android 12 and above, compared to 7.

Of course it has more features including a great search function.

On top of that my main reason is to change the icons, be able to control the transparency and colour of the icons in the top bar and set up my app drawer and dock how I like. Plus being able to set the density of the hinge screen and have widgets overlap etc

Plus Nova is faster than my stock launcher.
