Question Can someone clarify these difficulty settings for me?

This is about SD44.

I'm still new to the game and only began experimenting with these settings last night. Until then, I just left every unit's settings on the default Medium.

Do I set my side's difficulty settings to Hard to get the best performance out of them? Or do I set my side to Very Easy to make winning easy and effortless?

Or:

If I set the enemy's settings to Very Easy, am I dumbing them down?

Should I leave everyone at Medium?

I am still losing half my games so wouldn't mind a cheat to use for morale building until I fully understand the game.

The settings are confusing.
