Paragon is very solid and reliable. Not especially fast ( speed is reasonable for a normal priority setting - but there is no high speed setting ).
You will find if you set Macrium on High priority - it outpaces everything else.
The big advantage of Paragon ( particularly the BR 10 Compact is the huge number of features - file and folder backup as well - you don't get any of that on any of the others ).
Paragon can also flip itself into it's own recovery environment to restore - still with any of these apps. - make sure you run off the cd and that it boots up and recognizes everything - just to be safe.
Also Paragon boot disc has a lot of great stuff - file transfer wizard , boot corrector - fixes bcd entries , and can be used to correct drive letters in the system registry, etc .
If you just want to make partition/disk images - no differentials, no file and folders backup, and no extras - the Macrium is much more efficient than Acronis.
