I want to install some sort of irc daemon, which one is the go-to
these days? Is unrealircd still the more-or-less best option or is
there something new/better?

It's small server for few people.

I like [InspIRCd](http://www.inspircd.org). It's fast, well
maintained, and works closely with the IRCv3 Working Group to support
the latest features on IRC. The configuration is also no too
complicated once you read through the documentation (same as any IRCD
though) and it has a great module system with a large library of both
built in and extra modules.

I'm a big fan of
[Nafarious/IRCU](https://github.com/evilnet/nefarious2) myself.

I'll back up this answer. My first ircd was Unreal and it had a bad
reputation around the early 2000's. I then started netadmining an
InspIRCd net and opering a separate Charybdis/Shadow net. I revisited
both of them recently and really like the thorough config for
InspIRCd.

I'm an InspIRCd developer. If you have any problems then feel free to
ask for help at irc.chatspike.net #inspircd.

If you're using Puppet I made a
[module](https://forge.puppet.com/tedivm/inspircd) for it.

I recommend [ProvisionIRCd](https://www.provisionircd.tk) for
beginners and small servers.

Why is nobody talking about ratbox or ngircd?
