Display Suite vs. EVA for displaying a view as field
I think the best contender for EVA is Views Reference Field:


EVA: Entity Views Attachment
Views Reference Field


Both have stable releases. Main difference is the workflow. EVA is perfect if you want to impress your co-workers with the ability to attach a View to a content type like magic. Views Reference Field gives content editors the power to add Views to content themselves. Both modules don't need a block display, EVA provides its own and Views Reference Field can use any display type.
