Lightning is usually my go to for non functional parts.
Way lower print times and filament use.
For functional parts I usually use gyroid, adaptive cubic, 3D hexagon or one of the other I fills that puts filament in many directions in three axes. unless the stress points are very obvious, and then I sometimes eyeball basic bracing and add it with my (very) limited CAD skills.
