At this point in time, we're currently using BungeeCord. I believe we should switch to Velocity first off because:
Waterfall, the more bettered fork of BungeeCord (meaning more patches, improvements on performance, etc.), is currently being discouraged and users using it are being recommended to the newer proxy software, Velocity. As stated in their announcement of bringing on Velocity, PaperMC's team states, "While we have no current plans to discontinue the Waterfall proxy software in the near future, we cannot promise what the future will bring - we encourage those using Waterfall to consider switching to Velocity as their preferred, modern, proxy solution instead." In the original creator/founder of Velocity's words, Velocity is a "proxy focused on scalability and flexibility." (Info @ https://gist.github.com/astei/b139b78e…8f0c4704af81a3b)
If PaperMC's team is recommending Velocity over the fork of Waterfall, then it should honestly be a "hey, we should change" moment. Many big plugins already provide support for velocity, and from personal experience, it has definitely provided a huge positive different in performance than bungeecord/waterfall ever has, allowing a more stable proxy to hold a bigger count of players.
