visx – Describes itself explicitly as "Not a charting library". It basically requires you to build your own charts, which makes it powerful, but also cumbersome to use.
ChartJS with react-chartjs-2 – My first choice, since we've been using ChartJS for another project, although with a custom developed React wrapper. Ultimately I decided against it, because a React-native solution seemed to be a better alternative.
React-Vis – Last commit was in July 2020, so it looks to be a dead project.

Recharts – The most popular React charting library. A strong contender, but in the end, nivo seemed to have a better developer experience and a larger number of chart types.
Victory – Another strong contender, but the amount of included charts looked to be limited.
I prefer Highcharts it's really easy to us JS library drop into a project and they have a react.js wrapper on github really easy to use documentation is clear cut and simple. As a Jr. Dev I figured it out in a day. Just note the charts handle data a little differently more like an object so just be careful with how you pull the data from the backend to the front. Oh and if you run into slow render time it's no the data it's usually the drawing of the chart that eats up load time but it's easy to fix.
