I don't think I ever use thse.

These only when doing one-off sysadmin scripts -- but that's very good
for quick and dirty, so I think they should stay.

Always use this variant from kernel.

Never

In quick scripts.

Honestly, I like most of them, but they're always for quick and dirty
stuff except select, which for some reason seems low-level to me.
