I disagree - for quite pragmatical reasons, because of experience.

Strongest non-commercial means - stronger than Ferret, stronger than Zarkov,
stronger than Insomniac, stronger than Diep ( I don't know if this one is for
sale currently).

Sure this is possible - is it likely ? It is not the first time very convincing
results for a non-commercial engine have been reported . Judging from previous
experiences being the strongest non-commercial is a special task though: talking
about engines that later became availlable : in the past it constantly proved
wrong IMHO.

When it is about non-availlable engines my money would still be on Ferret, but
this is a futile discussion for sure. And again - for pragmatical reasons, when
it is about sooner or later availlable engines, I'd bet on Yace :) .
