When I am in doubt about this type of question, I usually look to the NGSBuzz next generation sequencing spreadsheet.

@Mikael, do you know how recent this is? Would be very useful if within the last year or so. Cheers!

As far as I know, it's continuously updated. The linked document was last changed on March 3. The fact that it includes stats for Oxford Nanopore shows that it's quite up to date. There are some things I wonder about a bit, though, like the read length 1000 given for PacBio, which sounds a bit less than I expected
