Every GC algorithm in HotSpot is designed with a specific set of trade-offs in mind.

ZGC and G1 are fantastic engineering achievements for applications that require low latency and high responsiveness. However, if you are running a pure batch data pipeline where pause times simply don't matter, Parallel GC remains an incredibly powerful tool and probably the one I would pick for that scenario. By accepting the pauses, you get the benefit of zero concurrent overhead, dedicating 100% of the CPU to your application threads while they are running.
