It really depends how much money you have and what compatibility you need.

PiStorm is the best bang-for-buck, not only do you get a very fast accelerator but you get 128MB FastRAM, HDMI RTG GFX card, Network Card (Wifi), AHI sound card, lots of other things I forgot, the problem is it is WIP. It's not that BAD but you might notice a difference in stability vs the other accelerators. In the works is also native video mode passthrough so soon it will be a complete HDMI solution. Can take a while to cold boot first time after power-on.

The TF536 is a good accelerator for A500. Good price. Good performance. Good availability.

The ACA500plus is not bad. Bit expensive for what it is. Average performance. Good availability. Interesting features. You don't have to unscrew your Amiga.
