Dynmap is the least optimizado afaik Bluemap uses the most storage cuz hi res 3D maps Dynmap uses looots of storage too Squaremap is super cool but I never dipped a lot into it I assume it's the one that uses the least storage

pl3x is the fastest + least storage (per map) pl3x is SUPER intensive on ram upon intial render (but its super fast), after initial render, havent had any ram issues on servers with ~50 peeps. same with goos, havent personally tested it on larger servers, but dont see why it be an issue

NGL all of them are "very fast after the initial render" the issue with interactive maps is that they are a plugin which renders using the same hardware you are running your server on. So it will always have a large impact on perf unless you config it to not constantly update and try to limit it to once a week during the lowest player counts or just render it on separate hardware and have the render server grab the world files via your local network in a read-only setup with some plugins i know that in the config perf can be improved by offloading it to a dedicated server for rendering or at least relegated to unused threads but idk which one it was.
