Which Server Jar?

Hi I'm trying to start a private server for a discord server I'm in that I have a few questions. I want the server to be vanilla 1.20.1 with around 15 plugins and some datapacks (vanilla tweaks, arboria, etc..), and it has to cater up to 20 players. I'm leaning towards Sparked Host and their Enterprise Venus option which has 3vcores, 6gb ram, and 100gb nvme storage which is what their reco tool gave me.

Now that the context has been laid down, I wanted to ask on what server jar I should use? I read about three which are Paper, Purpur, and Pufferfish, I don't have any experience with the last two but it says they have better vanilla gameplay and performance respectively. I have used Paper in the past and had some trouble specially with Redstone, Entity lag, and Garbage Collection, but that was with an inferior hardware setup. I used Aikar Flags, world pre-loading and had to make my world border 5000blks wide to make my old server even barely playable. If any of you have experience with these server jars please let me know.
