Big Sur vs Monterey vs Ventura vs Sonoma (MBP Mid-2012 non-Retina, 8GB RAM and 240GB SSD)

Hello everyone!

I need some help, recently I got for free a MacBook Pro Mid-2012 (non-Retina) with 8GB RAM and a 240GB SSD. I used macOS Catalina for a while but it was terrible, crashed very often even with a fresh install.

With this said, I was wondering which macOS I should use to get the best performance! I saw a lot of different opinions for some MacBooks, but I want to know what is recommended to mine, between Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma (all latest stable versions… I’ll be using OCLP).

PS: If it’s better to use Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave or Catalina, I would like to know which one I should go with.

Thanks!
