would like to hear opinions from those who have experience building a large array of coil types and sizes. Is it just a bunch of bias and hype?

From a performance standpoint you're better off with a single strand of wire in varying diameters (for desired heat up time, resistance and retention etc.).
I have to disagree with this to some point. It's all subjective. My staple and "go to" build is a 3 wire twisted coil(s). Or even a Clapton. For me, they perform much better than single wire coils. Both in flavor and in vape density. But others hate the twisted wire coils. I feel "performance" is subjective based on preferences of the vaper. And heat time and resistance can be controlled on a parallel build just as easily as on a single wire build.
I've never found multi wire builds to be better than a single wire coils in my years of use and hundreds of builds... i'm curious... (honestly not being an ... here maybe i'll have to flatten my clapton ends or some other trick) what instances/builds are you finding better than the equivalent (I.D. resistance, relative surface area) single wire variants?
Does your 28 gauge twisted 6 wrap, 0.5 ohm, 2.5mm I.D. coil perform better than your 26 gauge single wire, 6 wrap, 0.5 ohm, 2.5mm I.D. coil? (again not being a ...., id like to know) If so, what characteristics do you find the one has that the other doesnt.
I always felt that i could take two builds like mentioned above and do a blind taste test with experienced vapors and they wouldnt be able to tell the difference if wicked properly and resistances were equal as well as # of wraps/surface area. I realize that adding more wires does decrease resistance while increasing ramp time, retention and surface area... i just find that particular combination beneficial in any way when compared to increasing the thickness of a single wire coil.
I might be the only one though lol. People might dig super slow heat-up time, huge heat spikes and very slow cool-down times in their coils.
