I mainly use RawTherapee these days. The highlight recovery is the best
I have ever used including PS4. You can select blend, color propagation
and two other modes. I found color propagation mode do a magic work in
many cases.
There is no lens distortion data or plug-ins but it does has distortion
correction (simple barrel and pincushion, auto and manual), it works for
me.
May be there is no CA correction but it do a pretty good job in color
fringe correction, you can do overall fringe or use selective colors. It
is better than the Spix comes with Pana FZ1000 which expected to have
lens data built-in.
For color, I have setup profiles for different camera bodies and they
always give very close match to the original camera JPEG. You can also
dig into the "raw black points" I found it very useful for my Lumia 830
raw files.
The problem with RawThrapee is has too many controls, you have to spend
lots of time to find out which work for you.

No, I can't recall Topaz, and my ON1 doesn't actually work yet.
RawTherapee is decent in many ways, but doesn't do distortion and CA,
doesn't do plug-ins for them and doesn't recover highlights. I haven't
used PWP since dinosaurs ruled the Earth, but it has at least two of
RT's problems.
But really, for day to day µ4/3, the only sensible options are ACR, DxO,
V3 and SPix, two of which are crippled and one does color funny. Is Sony
SPix, too? ACR does a fine job with the A7 files.
