I'm using both. I paid to have the ads removed on sync and the dev does great work but I think I prefer infinity. I'll probably just throw my donations going forward to this and my instance on the fediverse.

I dont see any ads at all. Where are they supposed to be?
I keep flip-flopping between thunder and liftoff. I like the visual design of liftoff but thunder feels easier to use .... I could probably fiddle about with their settings and make one that last bit better than the other in either direction but I'm not sure wich way to go. (Posted from Liftoff)
I'll give the other apps a shot soon, but I'm really glad to have Sync back. It was the Reddit app of my choice.
If you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. You still have the option to use any other third-party Lemmy app of your choice.
Jerboa. It works for me. I used to use Relay and while it had more features, I really am not missing it that much.
Personally there is not much to into a decent app: after all it is just text and images.
It's interesting to me how I've tried like 10 apps including Sync which everyone raves about and for me one of the least mentioned is best: Connect. The UI is cleaner than the others. The navigation transitions are a little janky but not horrible and I'm hoping they'll smooth out eventually.
For me, I used to love Sync for Reddit for a long time, until he switched to Material You without a real option to go back. Material You is just plain ugly.
Now that I'm on Lemmy, I stumbled across Summit, which looks good and performs good.
