- In short
- Match the model tier to the task's stakes and structure rather than to habit or familiarity: reserve the highest tier for work where a better answer materially changes the outcome, default to the balanced tier for the bulk of everyday professional tasks, and use the fastest tier only where the task is structured and volume or speed is the binding constraint. Stakes and structure -- not familiarity, and not document length -- should drive the choice.
