I sincerely apologize for not replying to your thread sooner. Smart Password is the one I personally prefer. The Smart Password generation rules have been tuned to work in as many places as possible, as well as rely on clues from both the website you're generating the password on, as well as a list of password rules compiled in part by our friends at Apple.
For example, on a page that sets the passwordrules
HTML attribute, using the Smart Password generation type will automatically change to to match the rules shared by the website. Let me know if that makes sense!
