I run the Nanook and B&A Tac Sport X 90* shoe. I absolutely despise trigger tech's shoes. The B&A is definitely smoother as well.

I've never tried a TT. What is it you don't like about their trigger shoe ?
I was thinking about getting a TT for my Kimber Montana.
I'm not in love with the Kimber Montana.'s trigger shoe either. It's a tight small curl.

I dislike the geometry and widths of their curved shoes. The B&A has a tiny but of over travel which is good because it in theory allows the bullet to exit before you hit that wall and move the gun. Of course that probably comes more into play at 1¾-2lbs than it does at 4oz like lance mentioned. I run my hunting rifles around 1¾lbs so I can feel the trigger with cold fingers better. I've also founs that a flat 90* shoe give a lot better finger placement consistency.
If I was on a budget, I'd run the timney hit with a curved shoe. It's very close to 90* and not super wide. I actually really like that trigger system, but if you hunt in the rain yoi have to keep it oiled or it'll seize up for some reason.

Always had great service out of Timneys. They are hard to beat for the money.

I ended up purchasing the TT Diamond with a 90* shoe. This will be my first with the 90*, the other Diamond triggers I have are the traditional curve, I don't have any issues with them.

The blue framed TT rough diamond has a lil over travel built in once the trigger breaks, not as much as a BnA, but I've always frowned upon the brick wall dead stop after a TT breaks. Greatly prefer the feel of my BnA triggers, although TT may be a bit more durable in rough field use, they both have failures. This makes the blue(rough) diamond the only TT I'll buy going forward.
It all comes down to how the trigger feels to you. THEN how are you setting it up. Al lot of shooters that use mainly for hunting and target shooting basically install the trigger out of the package and just shoot that way. I have known shooters that try to set the trigger up and end up getting so SCARED they try to set back to factory or sell it.
Then it comes down to what you are shooting - Hunting, PRS, ELR, Bench Rest, F Class.
Shooting environment-wet, cold, hot, dusty
What type of Rifle/Pistol Bolt, AR
Then you have to look for what is your comfortable "Break" in OZ or LBS and Creep/Overtravel
Your PRICE Range.
We run four triggers. These all break well, no Creep or over travel, BUT we set them up for us. What Jill likes and what I like are two different trigger set ups.
B&A Tac Sport ProX for our .338LMs for ELR
Jewell for "F" Class
TT Diamond for Target/PRS
Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced For AR Long Distance
TT for hunting big game
Jewell for Chucks/P Dogs
RRA Two Stage trigger in a .223 AR for Yotes
We switch them all around depending on the rifle, cartridge, environment. You can't go wrong with any of these.

TT Diamond would be my choice. I shoot my hunting rifles at 2 lbs and that trigger is very nice at that setting.
As above, my first choice of all is the Jewell.
I was going through a box of parts, scope bases, rings, etc the other day and found one I had forgotten was in there. Might need to build a new rifle just so I have a place for it!!!
