State of the Art Pseudo Random Number Generator?

What is the current State of the Art PRNG?

I did look at the related questions: It is clear that MT (Mersenne Twister) is not. However it became a default in many popular languages (C++, Python).

It seems to me that the choice now is between Xoroshiro and PCG.

Are there any independent comparisons? How do I pick the right one as an engineer? My particular use case is graphics and simulation. Both Xor and PCG are clearly faster and better than MT.

My question is: Are there any independent benchmarks I should look at? Am I missing something even better than Xor or PCG?

To add: I am looking for a PRNG, so no crypto is needed or relevant.
