I've had both Pfizer and I'm not eligible yet, but the data seems good.
The safety profile seems to be just as good as well.

It's a shame it hasn't been used widely yet. Based on trial data it seemed to have the lowest adverse reactions while having high efficacy, but that's just trial data. We didn't know about any of the more serious adverse reactions in the other vaccines until they were put into use in the real world.
And supply is still going to be a huge issue for them. They're way behind on production and have run into pretty serious quality control issues, so I expect doses are going to be relatively scarce for a while. Eventually Canada will produce it domestically, but that's probably a little ways off still.
