I preferred In the Heights. While I liked Spielberg's West Side Story, one problem I personally had with it was that I didn't think the musical numbers came off well in a more realistic visual setting (especially compared to the surrealism of the 1961 iteration). Plus, he already revealed that he won't be directing any more musicals. https://variety.com/2022/awards/news/steven-spielberg-pga-awards-2022-breakfast-1235209794/
