Is it best to use unlocked for most posts or you just use public most times?

I think for really long posts, I'm gonna use unlocked because I feel like shorter posts on local timeline is better. I'll use public for short ones and unlocked for long ones perhaps? Wondering what everyone else does, lol
Also for questions like this, it's probably good to use unlocked, unless it's a question I'd want everyone to answer. Except if other people came across this post, I wouldn't mind it. Just doesn't need to be on the local timeline.

@daviddd I sometimes discover cool posts by seeing them on the federated timeline (people whom I follow reply to them or otherwise interact with them), so public is useful for me. I don't have a useful local timeline as I'm the only user of my instance.

In case of longer threads, some people post one public post and reply as unlisted, so it can be discovered but doesn't take a lot of the non-home timelines.
