I use Boost the most, mainly because I used the reddit version for so long and liked that. I love being able to easily block keywords, users, communities, etc. which keeps my feed tidy. I also like that if I've read a post already, I don't see it again in my feed. It feels easy to find communities, as well. I'm sure most of the popular apps are just as good, but this one suits me best. I sometimes also use Jerboa with another account, just so I'm not putting my eggs in one basket. I have tried Connect, too, which also seems really good.
Sadly, my Boost for Reddit app finally stopped working yesterday. I think someone has posted a solution somewhere, but I'm tempted to just give up on reddit now.
I agree with the blocking one thing I miss is blocking by domains to filter out posts from known misinformation sources.
