I tried Octopress, but didn't like the default theme/layout — I wanted to design my own theme, and was hoping to build up a site from scratch, not rip out what was already there. After considering a bunch of Python-based SSGs which didn't impress me for various reasons, I went with Jekyll and have been quite happy. One feature on my todo list is to find a way to add infinite scrolling (this is 2012, I don't think blo…
Pelican http://getpelican.com/> ; is a Python-based static site generator with a very active community behind it. It has a good mix of features without being overly complicated. Check it out! (Disclaimer: I'm a Pelican project committer.)

I just started using Hakyll and it's really awesome. It's very configurable, and integrating with Pandoc makes it very versatile. Maybe this doesn't matter to most people, but having Pandoc means support for math (e.g. TeX) is standard. I have a fairly complicated setup at the moment, and yet it still has less than 100 lines of configuration. Also, being in Haskell, I've found it pretty fast so far despite being writ…

Sorry this isn't a more useful comparison. I wanted to find a good-enough SSG quickly, so my search was pretty shallow.
Docpad is really, really a great static generator. It doesn't use a lot of files, its file architecture is easy to understand, and it's node, so I don't have to hack with ruby versions.
