I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

I've been using Kopia on my desktop computer for a few years now to do cloud backups. It's generally working well and I haven't found anything else with the same combination of features yet.

That said, kopia-ui is still a bit finicky and I've managed to bork a repo beyond repair a few times (e.g. once because my cloud provider account ran out of space, leading to some kind of inconsistent state) and there are some oddities, like the regular "periodic maintenance" (it's a bit weird that it's needed in the first place) randomly failing or taking forever.
