Usually the largest Q4 model that fits and has best reputations. Usually the performance degradation is not considered tolerable below Q4. Usually the model of choice ends up being either Qwen 3.6 27B or 35B-A3B. What's weird about local LLM models is that closed door improvements in training/RLHF dataset have been so significant that it's rare for larger but older models to make sense - everyone seem to always hard switch to the newest one and report step changes in capabilities(or maybe people running Kimi K2 since release just don't talk about it on the public Internet, giving me that impression).
