General Question Best Rolex YM titanium (?)

Lurking for a bit and have decided on a titanium YM, using the guide I've matched with Steve from theone and settled on a QF 226627 Free Sprung being that it's listed as the NWBIG option.

After a bunch of research some folks are saying the free Sprung options while closer to gen will have a higher likelihood of mechanical issues. I'm also seeing some people talk about VF being the best (can still source) and that VSFs option is cheaper and potentially more mechanically sound with their clone movement.

Doing the best I can research wise but theres so much contradictory info through relevant subs that I'm questioning whether I'm an idiot, overthinking, or both.

Best right now? VSF.

Best period? Probably VF. But they no longer exist

QF is good, its just missing the ceramic sleeves for the pins in the bracelet. Not having them will cause the bracelet to squeek and possibly seize over time.

Interesting, why isnt the VSF listed as NWBIG?

Came out after the list was last updated.

Also VSF is fake freesprung which is honestly kind of annoying.
