I've recently been asked again, "Hardware wallets/multisig/social recovery, which one should I choose?"

Honestly, it depends on your asset size and whether you can maintain discipline long-term.
For small amounts, don't get yourself into a situation where you can't even recover your seed phrase;
for larger amounts, hardware wallets are quite secure, but don't just buy one and feel safe—where you store backups and who at home can access them are the real pitfalls.
For even bigger assets, I prefer multisig; it's a bit more complicated, but it can prevent most "slip-up + phishing" incidents.
Social recovery sounds gentle—friends help you recover, but in reality, friends are also variables... especially now with social mining and fan tokens, where "attention is mining," people can easily trust the wrong individuals when they get carried away.
I see complexity as an enemy: if I can lock myself up with the least amount of trust assumptions, I’ll do that first.
