I’ve used several programs over the years.  In addition to the stuff
you listed, maybe also look at 'abcde', 'whipper', 'grimripper', …
(there are many more, and most are user interfaces for the "paranoia"
library/code, so searching for anything that has a dependency on
*paranoia* should get you a fairly complete list).

I think EAC is still the “gold standard”, but anything directly or
indirectly based on "paranoia" is pretty good too.
