I was playing with ollama because of name recognition. I was finding pretty quickly that the selection of models on the "ollama store" was pretty stale, and gguf models on huggingface are technically downloadable but don't work as well.

The "friends don't let friends use ollama" article linked in another comment convinced me to try llama-swap. I find it easier to directly deal with gguf files. Hard to quantify, but the outputs of the LLM seem better too. Asking the same gguf the same question with the same chat harness, I subjectively find llama.cpp does better. Might be some different defaults. I haven't dug deeply.
