BESST, SSPACE, SOPRA, and OPERA are some commonly used scaffolding tools. See this paper for a more detailed analysis of scaffolding tools: http://www.genomebiology.com/2014/15/3/R42

I should add, the scaffolder you choose also depends on the type of data you are using for scaffolding. Long reads can be used for scaffolding using SSPACE-LongRead and PBJelly2 (which also will gap fill).

'Or'. PBJelly2 does have additional gap-filling functionality as well and is what I generally use (though I understand this is to be added to SSPACE-LongRead).

I tend to use multiple tools to find what works best, followed by QC (generally Reapr) to ensure the joins are fine.
