Is there a rule of thumb for when to use Halton sequence, versus Poisson distributions, versus Sobol sequences, versus <insert 10,000 other random sequence algo

Is there a rule of thumb for when to use Halton sequence, versus Poisson distributions, versus Sobol sequences, versus <insert 10,000 other random sequence algorithms) for Monte Carlo scenarios... or even general "I need to generate a random set of XY or XYZ points in space"? Hell, I even see people use voronoi patterns to position points, which seems like overkill. Is it purely by choice/fascination? It seems rather choose-your-own-poison, but wondering if there are any shorthand use-this-for-thats.
