The last three years I have been using Symfony in my actual job, now this month had change of job and started using Phalcon.
My question is now a days I hear a lot of Phalcon, Symfony and Laravel. I want to know your experiences with each one and why choosing one over the other can be better.
From now I know Phalcon is a C extensions and in terms of performance is most useful. But for other things I think Symfony gives you most things done and prepared.
Thanks for all!

I once used Phalcon and it was unbelievable. The speed was literally to die for. But aside from that, Laravel yo. Laravel is not just powerful — it is fast, the simplicity of the framework makes it the best out there (being opinionated on the topic). It has an amazing community and developers contributing to its success. If you decide not to use Phalcon, leave Symfony and go with Laravel, it is partially built on Symfony components and also outperforms it by at least a mile.
Go for Laravel. It's built on top of Symfony so you can use all the Symfony's features.
Read this book (it's free) and see if you love Laravel:

If you don't, then choose Phalcon.
By the way, in my humble opinion, if you don't like Laravel, then go for Node.js.
