I don't often use BitTorrent at all, but Transmission is certainly the first client that comes to my mind, probably mainly because it came preinstalled with the distros I used when I was new to Linux (Debian and Ubuntu in the late 2000s). Not sure what advantages there are either way.

That makes sense, qbit was the first recommended to me too.
