GM Cookson- Aeschylus
Richard Jebb - Sophocles
Edward Coleridge (in verse) - Euripides

Edith Hamilton’s Euripides is also serviceable

The Chicago ones have some serious errors. For example, they inexplicably mistranslated key terms in the Hippolytus. I recommend Esposito (or any from Focus Classical Library, which are generally literal), Ahrensdorf&Pangle, and Hugh Lloyd-Jones

I'd echo this, the only ones from the Lattimore-Grene edited editions I would put any weight in are the two by Benardete, otherwise they're hit or miss.

The translations by Robert Potter are really stellar imo, or at least for Euripides

I loved his translation of Homer so much that I plan to read his translation of the New Testament next year

>A letter from Sarah Burney to her sister Frances Burney on 1 August 1779 states that Samuel Johnson, Hester Thrale and their circle thought little of Potter's poetic abilities.[15] Johnson may have called Potter's poetry "verbiage", but Horace Walpole was welcoming: "There is a Mr. Potter too, I don't know who, that has published a translation of Aeschylus, and as far as I have looked is a good poet."[16]

Verrall and Jebb are my favorite.

Jenn’s Sophocles is really nice and straightforward. I prefer translations rendered in verse.
