For me, if you have a old laptop or pc, you would be better off without an antivirus, given that you are an advanced user and have common sense. You don't need an antivirus, especially if you don't encounter unsafe websites or files a lot. But you have a decent pc, windows defender is enough. Else I like Malwarebytes if you have money to throw away. I like least intrusive and least resource intensive antiviruses.
I have had my experiences with all kinds of antiviruses, and I can tell you one thing. Normally you shouldn't get easily infected with viruses, but if a virus is good enough, it doesn't matter if have the best antivirus on the market you will get infected. You'll have to rely on other methods to save your data and get rid of it. So now I prefer either no antivirus or an antivirus that mainly scans any USBs plugged into the computer or newly downloaded files.
