If you need to render quite a lot of data look at one of the WebGL implementations, I switched from Leaflet to Maplibre GL for displaying around ~7k linestrings and saw huge performance gains.
Leaflet.js is your best bet. It is quick to start, has tons of plugins and can do a lot out of the box.
OpenLayers is probably a little more customizable, but has a steeper learning curve. If you're using PostGIS, you can probably handle much of the less common spatial manipulation there and use Leaflet to render, rather than the client side.

Leaflet.js (I've used it through the R and Python libraries)

I recently came across Datasette. It lets you a build a map with a simple sqlite DB. Here is an example: https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plan...
Mapbox since they create and host tilesets of my large data and I can spin up a map in minutes.
