Best Java version server software and best JVM?

So. I'm attempting to set up a minecraft server for me and my girlfriend on my TrueNAS SCALE machine. And it's asking me what server type I want. Vanilla, Forge, Fabric, Spigot, Bukkit, Paper, Airplane, Purpur, Magma, Mohist, Catserver, Canyon, Sponge Vanilla, Limbo, Crucible, FTBA, Curseforge, Auto Curseforge, Quilt, or Pufferfish.

I first played Minecraft all the way back in 2011, but I've never modded the game (yes, seriously) and I've never hosted a server before. Which should I choose? The general vibe I'm getting is that Fabric, Paper, and Spigot seem to be the best.

It's also asking to me to choose my JVM, offering HotSpot, Alpine, OpenJ9, JDK, and GraalVM CE, with versions 20, 17, 11, and 8. I learned how to code a bit of Java in college, and I know what a JVM is and how it works, but I don't know which is best.
