Ditto, but I settled on Pelican because Python, which makes it far more hackable IMO.
Hugo's speed is overrated (and overstated). Anything with caching (like Pelican) makes this somewhat of a non-issue IMO. Incidentally, the longest part of generation for me is thumbnails and other asset bundling, which is essentially imagemagick.
Having said that, Hugo does many things right and is pretty fully featured, so it's hard not to recommend. It would be nice if all static site generators used the same format (front matter?) so switching engines could be more seamless.
