I tried both Eleventy and Zola along with a few other SSGs for my blog [1], and ended up going with Eleventy. I love that it's flexible with my directory structure, that I can write shortcodes with JavaScript (without adding JS to the client), and preview my site from my phone without any extra setup. (It gives you a URL when you start up the development server! Magic!)
It was almost trivial for me to add a social sharing image generator for my posts. [2] That's something I never thought my SSG would be able to do.
Definitely check it out if you're looking at static generators. Zola too, which is amazing in its own right.
