I have used JTBridge and liked it but these days my favorite set up is the combination of WSJT-X and RUMLogNG without JTBridge.
After setting up, using the instructions in RUMLog, I am able to see Spots from the Clusters intermixed with local WSJT-x spots in the "DXSpots" window. This allows me use RUMLog's excellent color coding system to decide it I need the Country or Zone in FT8 or any other mode in one window. Clicking a station in WSJT brings it up in RUMLog, shows previous contacts with that station or that Country. Logging is a one click operation that also can be set to upload it to ClubLog and/or LoTW. Makes for a nicely integrated set up.
