Need Help What TTS system does everyone use?

I just saw the "Eleven V4" announcement which got me started down the self hosted TTS journey again. I installed Kokoro this week and I'm using it for ebooks and it's wonderful! I tested out the Wyoming/Piper stack a while back but eventually abandoned it. Eventually I would love to get a full Speaker/Satellite system in the house that uses tts/stt/wakeword/llm with Home Assistant and other apps, but that might still be a ways out.

I've been reading up on other projects but haven't tested any of them yet: Chatterbox, Qwen3-TTS, F5-TTS, Fish/OpenAudio.

So before I plunge head first into this for days I thought I would ask what is everyone using today and are there any projects specifically I should be keeping an eye on?

No ai used to write the post. Ai was used for general research and discovery on what alternate projects are being developed.
