Everyone has their own set of metrics, sounds like rate of learning is a big one for you. In this case look for options that maximizes that metric, then compare and tradeoff along other dimensions. Be careful heeding others' stories. The flaw with overcomplicating this decision process with too many data points, especially from others on HN in different places in their lives and have preferences than you, is that it will lead to prolonged indecision and ultimately regret. Good luck!
