I've worn quite a few different types (industry insider to I get to try them for cheap) and while some of them have good compression and recovery, Swiftwick Aspire 12's were the only one that had both great compression and was actually a quality sock as well. By that I mean that quite a few brands were great on the calves but when you got down to the actual foot part in the shoe, they rubbed or gave me blisters, while Swiftwick did both very well. Overall, Swiftwick was my favorite and is also cheaper compared to CEP, 2XU, etc.
