Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

which tool is recommended for kmer based analysis to compare draft genome and sequencing reads.
KAT or merqury. Avoid QUAST.

Is Unicycler the best option for hybrid genome assembly?
Yeah, Unicycler is solid. iirc Unicycler v5.0+ removes Pilon, so you'll still want to polish your final assembly with your short reads. I like using QV as a quick way to see if I should polish more or not.

Deciding on genome assembly software
I would recommend using Merqury to see the completeness and quality of your assembly. https://github.com/marbl/merqury
