Hugo and other Jekyll-like SSGs are definitely on my radar, too. Hugo in particular seems nice in that the migration path looks pretty trivial. My big worry with such tools is that the templates tend to get real hairy real fast, and I think moving away from anything that resembles Jekyll is psychologically necessary to shake off that writers' block.
Main thing drawing me toward Fossil is that I've already been transitioning my personal software projects onto it anyway, and Fossil's Markdown dialect happens to have some very nice features that I like. Main downside is that it's very much not designed with blogs or generic websites in mind, so while I was able to come up with a decent prototype (https://fsl.yellowapple.us/website https://fsl.yellowapple.us/website), there's still a bit of jank that'll take some more in-depth customization.
Main thing drawing me toward Scroll is its flexibility; it's cool being able to do everything "in Scroll" instead of having to switch between content v. frontmatter v. config files v. themes v. plugins. Main downside is that it lacks maturity and documentation, so trying to figure out how to use it is a bit of an adventure in its own right.
