Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out on my own.
I've already tried a couple of things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences over theoretical takes.

Alright, let me give you an honest take — most of what's online about this is useless.

Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
