From my experience:

Adobe's Enhanced Details - The best in terms of image quality and sharpness.  Also allows you to use Lightroom. Downside is the processing time per image and the increased file size.

Irrident X-Transformer - Very good image quality but requires an extra software package and isn't as sharp as Adobe's Enhanced details.

CaptureOne - A popular choice for those who don't want an extra step. In my experience it does not produce as good image quality as the above options as you still get some water colour effect but it works without an extra step and your file sizes stay the same.

Overall Adobe's enhanced details makes the most sense. It allows me to use Lightroom (which I much prefer over CaptureOne) and it also results in the best quality image. No watercolour effect.

I sold my X-E3 as I couldn't stand X-Trans anymore but now Adobe's Enhanced Details is available, I have genuinely considered returning to Fuji and buying an X-T4. It's that good.

Hope this helps. What I will say is prepare for a lot of conflicting answers.
