I like ETH. It's not better than Bitcoin but it's much better than XRP and I hope it retains the position of 2nd most popular cryptocurrency and XRP goes even lower.
The weak point of ETH is that you need to build payment systems on top of it and using gas isn't easy. It's much more complicated than paying with Bitcoin. I just don't see people choosing ETH payments over BTC it wouldn't make sense.
I don't really like Ripple either. Mostly because of his speculation in the market, as far as I know the SEC is interested in speculation and started an investigation, but Ripple has a good technology and idea, but I pass because I think the risk of buying is big.
