What are some product categories you're very particular about, enough to have purchased 3+ different versions of the product? Which version did you settle on, and what do you like about it?

Looking at the responses seems like there’s 3 kinds of variety: 1. Variety through indifference 2. Variety through subtly distinct use cases (my coffee) 3. Variety as history of trial and error <— you seem to be asking about this

I have nothing in category 3 that I can think of. I settle on the first satisficing thing. If there’s a trial and error history it’s because the others don’t work even to satisfice, not because I care deeply.

My wife otoh has lots of category 3 things. Especially around skincare stuff. I sometimes end up using some of things (moisturizers, sunblock) that are leftover from some of her finicky experiments. Hand-me-down experimentation detritus.
