I have played Englund Gambit a few times though, I remember when I analyzed my games.

Evans Gambit is most accepted among all the Gambits you mentioned. Then probably Stafford and at last, Englund.

Benko Gambit, Marshall Attack, Anti-Meran Gambit, Alekhine-Chatard Attack, Najdorf Poisoned Pawn?

I mean, at the top level, most of the 19th Century e4 sac-and-attack gambits are now considered easy to equalize against at best, but there are plenty of examples of pawn sacrifices in the opening that still hold up...
