Dear lore
I have not used snappyHexMesh but I need a software that it be a user friend like Gambit (but it can be install in Linux ) and It create also geometry (line surface volume) then It create grid

In my search I found that Engrid GMSH gridgen SALOME ...

but I don't know which of them is the best

I've always used snappyHexMesh and I think it actually does a pretty good job so I don't have such a big experience with third party software.
I think you could use this one though:

Once I've done the mesh you'll have to convert it to be read in Open Foam with the command gmeshToFoam.
