I personally use EMC, but if you want to eliminate that one here is my run
down:

MaxNC No experience, but was advised by experienced users that it has many
restrictions and quirks.
SuperCAM No Experience or comment
DanCAM Used it to start with. It works and it is free, but does not accept
g-code and is pretty dated
DeskNC Been there, done that, was disappointed with major resonance
problems and motor stalling
CNC Pro No experience, but very positive feedback on the list
