Not GP, and I've never used Rails so I'm not fanboying over it, but I've long had the impression that ActiveRecord is at least one of the most sophisticated ORMs; it wouldn't surprise me if it handles more complex cases better than others.
I think my preferred style (vs. full ORM or raw SQL) is that of Diesel (which is incidentally from a (former?) maintainer of ActiveRecord, Sean Griffin, though I think he may have since stepped back from it) for Rust - it's more like 'SQL bindings' than 'ORM's typically are or grow to be; so you pretty much write SQL, just in Rust syntax with type checking etc. instead of actual SQL in one big Rust string.
