It would depend on your project. If the project is a kind of prototyping, parcel will be a good option. If not, you can try snowpack. However, there are some options for a js project such as webpack, rollup, esbuild, roma, and so on. I think webpack is very popular.

webpack is so popular. even @fredkschott mentioned in stream. most of the fallbacks are based on webpack. he said it became a sorta industry standared.

Snowpack is conceptually and fundamentally differently from Parcel:

"Snowpack is a modern, lightweight build tool for faster web development. Traditional JavaScript build tools like webpack and Parcel need to rebuild & rebundle entire chunks of your application every time you save a single file. This rebundling step introduces lag between hitting save on your changes and seeing them reflected in the browser. [...]"
