For the angular side, I've really enjoyed ng-boilerplate. It component-based layout is the way to go - much better then any other seed or boilerplate. They also instilled a lot of other good practices. I also like how build configuration is used as a context into the files (such as index.html) during the build step. This removes the need for yeoman scaffolding since the templates automate the process and the decisions are declared in a config file, in lost yeoman commands that spread code around.
As far as an end-to-end stack is concerned, angular-mean-seed is very thorough and works well. It's yeoman-based, which is very nice for most. What you get out of the box is quite considerable - even a continuous delivery setup if you configure it right. It's also bases a component in a folder, which is great. I'd like to replace some of the boilerplate with smarter preprocess, guess I should contribute. Another thing - it's intended that your project can update from the seed at any time, which is very cool, and it works. Even though I'm more a fan of the processing that ng-boilerplate does for angular, I think all the other goodies that come with yo mean-seed are worth it.
