Zcash
pros:

Leader in privacy using Zksnarks which is cutting edge tech and one of the smartest teams out there.
They're working on Recursive Zksnarks which would allow a constant size blockchain of a few Mb.. imagine running a node on your phone fully private!

cons:

Has a rediculously high inflation rate which can hamper the price

Ethereum
pros:

Everyone is talking about DeFi right now, but the price hasn't moved just like with the ICO craze.. price didn't move even though everyone was jumping into ICOs. Sometimes price can lag
Gaven Anderson is moving to working on Ethereum instead of Bitcoin which is huge
They're moving to Proof of Stake

cons:

Blockchain size is reaching a limit and they need to move fast, other projects are also catching up

BAT
pros:

Which other project already has a product (Brave Browser) already being used by millions of people?
Has global reach, not just Crypto Community

cons:

At the end of the day it's just an ERC-20 token, which doesn't really need to exist

Decred
pros:

Personal favorite, on chain consensus and governance which let's people vote on which upgrades to add
Most versatile coin out there, users are in charge of what to add. And they voted to add privacy features
Stable funding for the project unlike other projects which ask for donations or go through ICOs

cons:

No one really talks about it much

Cosmos
pros:

Will connect both Bitcoin and Ethereum and allow developing contracts to work on any blockchain

cons:

Still new hasn't been battle tested, and I don't know the team too well

I have already heard about that BAT and have also read some article and posts about that which is a project launched that involves the usage of Brave browser in which by just using the browser app and viewing ads on it you can obtain a reward of getting BAT which really gets my interest and seems to be good so maybe I better add it into my portfolio. So much so that, I do also have Ethereum in my portfolio despite of the continuous down fall and the price seems not to be increasing like the others, I do still believe into it and for me it is still worthy for me to be hold and to be invested with. Out of the list you have provided, I think Litecoin and Ripple are also good projects to be invested with this year 2020.
