Earlier this month I tried some options. Just my personal experience as a basic user. Disclaimer: trying to connect over internet (not LAN) to a machine running Plasma Wayland. Some points I remember:
AnyDesk and RustDesk didn’t work.
xrdp has some issues like it doesn’t work if user is already logged in the physical machine when you try to connect. Also if I don’t manually logout before disconnecting from remote, my physical PC freezes, forcing me to reboot.
NoMachine and TeamViewer are good. I also quickly tested with X11 and performance was bad with AnyDesk and xrdp. RustDesk is in between the two pairs, closer to the good ones.
I couldn’t make NoMachine send audio, maybe because I use PipeWire?
NoMachine has better keyboard support, simple and important hotkeys like Ctrl+C didn’t work consistently for me with TeamViewer, even after searching for grab keyboard-like settings. Alt+Tab to switch active window also doesn’t work properly on TeamViewer, it’s captured by local machine instead of remote.
None of them were able to hide the screen (privacy mode) in the physical monitor. At least NoMachine can automatically lock the session when you disconnect.
I ended up using NoMachine. I guess it has similar performance as connecting to a Windows machine using FreeRDP, but with some minor issues like no audio (for me this wasn’t important).

So from my experience, I’d rank this way:
Didn’t try VNC options because everyone says (from what I read) they perform poorly.
