I’d like to take the time to become an expert in one of them. Right now I can whip together a small makefile that holds single lines for compile / linker flags, a single line for all the c files then an entry for each one and it’ll properly parallel’ly compile them and only the ones modified.

Which build maker out of cmake, autoconf, etc do you think is the best one to learn?

My preference is CMake since it basically is an abstraction layer on top of unix makefiles, msvc projects and so on. With CMake, organizing cross platform projects is easier if you ask me. Also it has a lot of nice features for just about anything. Someone even wrote a resource manager for it (compile in binary blobs, "cmrc"), aurogeneration of static configurations, etc etc.
