I personally haven't tried the alternatives, but did research them when before I initially settled on Yesod. Coming from a background of web dev'ing in Python and PHP, I've come to absolutely love Yesod. What I love most about it is that when it compiles, I'm 99% sure it works the way I intended it. This is a huuuuge plus, since I've been used to always having to test in runtime, which adds a lot of overhead and possibility for oversight. This might just be me falling completely in love with Haskell and type inference (not just static typing, Java -.-..), but I'd wager that for any larger codebase/project, the gain from the time saved debugging, would make Haskell (and IMHO Yesod) the optimal choice.
