Direct Answer
For most small business websites, native HTML forms wired to your CRM (GoHighLevel, HubSpot) are the best — fastest, most reliable, no extra subscription. If you need conditional logic or file upload, use Tally (free), Fillout, Typeform, or WPForms (WordPress). Avoid heavy embeds that slow page load.

Long forms: break into 3–4 steps with progress indicator. Multi-step forms convert 30–60% better than single-screen long forms.
Always validate inline (real-time) instead of on submit — drops abandonment 15–25%.
