Having seen a lot of work come to grief because of the decision to use pandas, anything that’s not pandas has my vote. Pandas: if you’re not using it interactively, don’t use it at all. This advice goes double if your use case is “read a csv.” Standard library in Python has you covered there.

Both duckdb and especially polars should also be mentioned here. Polars in particular is quite good Ime if you want a pandas-alike interface (it additionally also has a more sane interface).
