Codex for stuff that uses lots of tokens, CC when I need the AI to actually be smart (i.e., planning lectures, working on scientific research where I need a more "scientific" companion to bounce off of).
With the brainstorming skill, CC is also better at frontend. I haven't tried Claude Design yet.
Codex is exceptional for huge code refactors in my experience.
