Tested with the same methodology as recoil
Note that Bushka thinks that this methodology is dumb, because you don’t need to unload a whole mag into an opponent, so only the first few bullets matter, I partly agree, a few observations though :
So with that said you can decide if you want to observe only the first few bullet holes or more.
A few commonly used weapons, all tested without grips.

First, I want to say a compensator(SMG, AR) or cheek pad(DMR, Snipers) seems to have way more effect on recoil than any grip, so keep that in mind.
My recommendations:
–=
Tested on the M416 without any other attachments, 3 tries per grip.
Does not seem to do much recoil wise, but it provides faster ADS.
Seems to help a bit with both horizontal and vertical recoil, also gives faster recoil recovery, not a bad choice.
Seems to maybe help a bit on horizontal recoil, but at least on the m416 that seems pretty negligible, supposed to be good on snipers and dmrs though.
Does what you would expect, reduces the vertical (only) recoil
This is supposed to reduce recoil, but I’m not really seeing any benefit.
Tested with an SKS without other attachments, 4 single shots, without trying to controll recoil manually in between.
The Vertical grip or the Thumb grip seem to be the best options
Slightly improved vertical and horizontal recoil
Helps a little but not as much as with auto fire, thumb grip seems a bit better
This is supposed to be good for single fire, however I see zero evidence that it helps at all with the amount of recoil (maybe it helps with recoil recovery speed between shots, I have not tested that yet)
Again, the vertical grip does it’s job, this is the only one so far to keep all 4 shots bellow the house roof line.
Similar to the thumb grip, helps a little bit, not much
This is to highlight that the grips are not actually having much effect compared to what the compensator and cheek pad can do. The SKS fully kitted with these is night and day compared to the minimal effect of a specific grip, see how much better this looks !
