SB Prolog: never mind the quality, feel the price!  (It's free.)
SICStus Prolog: it isn't free, but put it this way:  I can't think why
anyone who actually wants to use Prolog for serious work would prefer
SB Prolog to it.  It hews much closer to the `de facto' `Edinburgh'
standard than SB Prolog (Saumya Debray, on whom be blessing, wrote that
one of the privileges of an author of free programs is to indulge his
own taste).  Performance is much better.  As in really rather good (even
if you haven't got a 68020 and have to use C-interpreted code rather than
native code).  It doesn't fall over as often as SB Prolog.  It has a
rather crude form of coroutining (everything you need to build more
powerful schemes).

If you can't afford a commercial Prolog, SICStus Prolog is the best I
know of.
