Hi Mauro,
At the present, I think Opera is the most widely used.
WSPR reaches -27db, not enough for covering long distances on LF. So, it's
rarely used.
Opera and lentus perform better:
Lentus reaches -34db for 5 minutes trasmission, Opera8 and Opera32 (8/32
minutes trasmission) reach -32db and -38db respectively.
In my opinion, technically speaking, Lentus is the best (it is also very good
for making QSO). Lentus requires a very good syncronization among station. In
addition, if you use a SDR, you may have some problems due to the latency of
the SDR.
Instead, Opera is very simple and very close to the "regular" QRSS.
So, my conclusions are:
For medium distance beacons : Opera8 or Lentus
Foe long distance beacons : Opera32
For QSO : Lentus
best 73's'
