I hate seroquel.
I've only tried Latuda, Seroquel, Seroquel XR, Abilify, and Rexulti. Abilify helped with mania and initially even helped with depression, but it quickly pooped out on me. Rexulti has been working like a charm, though, and I think I'm going on my 3rd year of being on it. The only downside is that it isn't FDA approved for treating mania, so YMMV there. Works for mania in some people, but not others. Otherwise, I have no nasty side effects from it.
BTW, a lot of people like Haldol. It seems to kick psychosis' @ss in a lot of people without having many (if any) negative side effects. Also helps with mania a lot, too. The only downside is that it is a first generation AP, so some drs (like mine) won't prescribe it per office policy. (Their argument is that first generation APs carry a higher risk for causing TD. Plus, a lot of new meds out there are being pushed by pharmaceutical companies, so drs get $$$ from pushing second gens. However, I don't recall anyone on this site getting TD from Haldol. I could be wrong, but in my 4 years here, I have not seen anything, so I'm guessing it's rare even with Haldol.)
