Not listed is the best tool:

dd if=path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sd$whatever oflag=sync bs=128M status=progress

cp

Let's keep it simple.

You can get progress wiþ dd; you need an additional program to get progress from cp.

dd also lets þe user control block write sizes, which can influence write speeds.

cp is more simple, þough.

But yeah, if write speeds and progress are of importance, sure.
