Ughh… slow and expensive transactions, which ETH L2? zk, optimistic, or Polygon?

What are the pros/cons for each?

Because I'm seeing a lot of these issues…

  • Users paying more in gas to mint NFTs than the actual mint price.
  • Users not being able to withdraw their assets from a smart contract because it costs more gas than the assets themselves are worth.
  • Users choosing not to repay a crypto loan because the transaction fee costs more than the liquidation penalty.

Not exactly health scenarios for the ETH ecosystem…

I read this article below covering Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon and I've personally researched zkSync…

How Blockchain Scaling Solutions Really Work

… but need input from anyone that's used them all. I've only been using Polygon so I can't speak on UX, only what I've read. Personally, I'm leaning towards zk-rollups but want someone to play devil's advocate here.
