Hugo! I stick with Hugo for all things SSG these days. I like how it's a single binary, runs uber-fast, and compiles down to a nice clean set of HTML, CSS, and JS.
My one mark against it is the learning curve is sharp. That's okay for me, since I plan to use it to the end of my days, and so I can amortize the cost of learning it once against many decades of productivity. I have an old GitHub page for people struggling to get to base camp on its learning curve: https://github.com/Siilikuin/minimum-viable-hugo
And here are some sites I run in it:
https://andrew-quinn.me/, my barebones personal blog.
https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/til-site/, my much more frequently updated TILs. Think of this as halfway between a blog and Twitter.
https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/, a daily updating news archive for the Simple Finnish broadcast, happily running since 2023. The pipeline for this one is interesting, since it uses not only Hugo but Git submodules under the hood. One Git repo exists purely to curl the page I'm watching every night, and I try to mess with that one as little as possible because messing up might mean a night goes unarchived. An intermediate one submodules repo #1 and cleans up the HTML to Hugo-friendly Markdown with pandoc and sed. The final one imports this slimmed down, Markdownified version directly into its content/ directory as a Git submodule and redeploys the whole shebang every night. So far we're up to over a thousand unique HTML pages and this refinery has continued to work with only minimal changes, because we've stuck with such reliable and slow-changing tooling.

using the Lume(https://lume.land) static site generator, which I automatically run in CI and then deploy to my VPS.
All self-hosted, no middlemen, just me, my own templates, formatting, code. I focus on design simplicity, lightweight pages, and being as accessible as I can. This means both visual accessibility(Every page is hand-checked with WAVE's browser extension(https://wave.webaim.org/) and Sa11y(https://sa11y.netlify.app/)) and technical accessibility(Low- or no-JS always, make pages as lightweight as possible).
To me, this is the ideal experience, where it's all stuff I've written, and even helped contribute to(I've been doing a lot of revising the Lume docs since the author isn't a native English speaker, been a relaxing and fun experience). Also, the entire design makes sense to me, and I haven't had that in the past with any other blog stack, so this feels like an end-game blog setup.

My blog is a set of markdown files parsed to HTML by an ASP.NET application. You can self host GitHb actions runners, so making a new post is as simple as committing a markdown file. I wrote the static site stuff myself which was probably a waste of time, but a static site created by Hugo/Jekyll/etc. hosted on your own VPS or server and deployed with GitHub actions (or another version control equivalent) is definitely the way to go.
