Stockfish if I can just let it run for a while.

Stockfish in late/mid-late game

Otherwise in the opening game Leela. (provided strong GPU)

What position: Openings, middlegames or endgames?

In openings and middlegame without tactics is lc0 the best. Stockfish is better in later middlegames and andgame.

Btw, in my opinion Lc0 is on slower hardware in openings the best!

I search deep and let the three strongest agree.
If they disagree, then I make the suggested alternative moves and analyze those positions.
Even so, you cannot always get to the truth.

So I guess the answer is I do not trust any of them, but the quality of their moves is basically a function of their Elo (at long time control, which is the only time control I care about), so that is also the measure of my trust.

SF has contempt which sucks for analyzing. I mainly use Houdini.

I turn off all of the contempt for analysis.
You have to make code changes to do it.

I think I botched the poll setup. The time to expire was not set so it ran out immediately.
