If you're doing anything on AWS, Amazon's Corretto is a good choice. Probably similar for Azure and Microsoft's offering.
If you're using JetBrains IDEs and don't mind waiting for the major release (11, 17, 21, etc.), then those aren't a bad choice either.
I've used Azul's Zulu plenty for my own projects. One thing they do different is to provide alternate builds for every JDK version with JavaFX packaged directly into the JVM.
It's pretty easy to pick and choose between them and manage multiple versions from multiple vendors simultaneously using SDKMAN.
I could understand the paid version of Graal, given it’s paid features are pretty sick.
Praise there are a million free versions of openjdk.

So...if you have 1000 employees and 100 developers using Oracle Java you need to spin off those 100 developers into a new company and then hire that company to do your Java development?

My guess is we'll find out if there is really a good reason to stick with Java, because surely there were be a few big customers who will try to switch to someone else for support like IBM or will try to switch to some community supported OpenJDK based Java.
