I've used aggregator2 quite a bit in the past with great success in 4.7. 
Recently, I've had a couple clients try to use agg2 and say that it was 
incredible buggy. Following the issue queue, the author seems to have 
gone AWOL and the module is in disarray. It's got a lot of potential and 
with some direction and love I think it could be very worthwhile again.

There were talks of moving all RSS parsing code to an API module which 
makes a lot of sense. I think for agg2 to be successful again, the RSS 
code should be externalized and a few of the major bugs would need to be 
squashed.

I haven't used the other two agg modules.

HTH,
