I don't run it at all times but Ultrascreen100 is surprisingly good and provides 80 columns—on the built-in display—in BASIC and TEXT without much issue at all. Not everything else is perfectly compatible. MENU is always going to be 40, and much software of course was never written with 80 columns in mind. That being said, simply having 80 columns in TEXT at BASIC, via software, is pretty great. I like Ultrascreen100 quite a bit more than View80 since it's truly drawing 80 columns rather than just moving a visible window around. Performance isn't blazing fast. IMO that's a fair tradeoff for the functionality.
