MODERATORS
Foundry is outstanding. My groups moved to it after being frustrated with Fantasy Grounds and Roll20. Only parts of it are open-source, but I don't mind in this case. It can be self-hosted, only one copy is needed, the price is reasonable, and the money goes to a small team of independent developers rather than a big corp.
(My one notable criticism of Foundry is that their official support community is on Discord, which I won't use. This hasn't kept me from using the software, though. There are plenty of other users out there, so it's pretty easy to find information when I need it.)
We use Mumble for voice chat. Open-source, lightweight, cross-platform, low latency, good noise filtering (RNNoise), great sound quality. You can self-host, or pay for a super-cheap hosted server.
For the sake of completeness, here's a VTT Wiki:

Thank you. This was very thorough, and very helpful.
@Shkshkshk @mox Can second the love for Foundry. Just switched to it for my online group and I adore the flexibility and control I have over the game environment.
