Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed both use PipeWire by default.
I use Strawberry; it supports every format I could need, supports gapless playback from GStreamer (so no MPD mucking required), and—best by far—Subsonic support. Even gapless playback works in Subsonic!
Strawberry will always have my vote on Linux unless someone builds something in GTK that matches it for features. But I have yet to see anything come close.
