I prefer QRL at the moment, since it is one of the few cryptocurrencies which will not have its private keys cracked when quantum computers get a bit more powerful and because it has a nice community I like contributing to.

It will be pretty hard to make almost any of the other existing cryptocurrencies quantum resistant, since it will require a fork that either:

• Leaves lots of addresses vulnerable to cracking. This means that, when quantum computers get powerful enough, the market may be flooded with stolen cryptocurrency lowering the value of it.

• Has a limit of time in which people can convert to the new signatures thereby making many people lose their crypto.

Two other resistant cryptocurrencies include IOTA and Mochimo. I don't generally use IOTA due to the centralisation problems, though.
