I did a comparison of Syntax Highlighter, Prettify and Highlight.js for weblogs.asp.net. I ended up preferring Highlight.js. My notes:
• SyntaxHighlighter
generates tons of nested tables, doesn’t work well with Bootstrap (overflows into right rail)
• Google Prettify
Worked okay, but kind of ugly. Had to use jQuery to apply “prettyprint” class to all pre elements.
• Highlight.js
Easy to set up, lots of themes, seems pretty quick, regular updates

Highlight.js + styles are hosted on cdnjs, which makes it easy to host on a blog.
