Use whatever works for you.

The *arr + torrent client setup just works so well, I can't be bothered to change it. The *arr software automatically picks out good torrents that are the format you requested and that are seeded. I never really saw it not saturate my connection. For movies, I have to wait a few minutes (depending on file size and my own connection speed). For TV shows, new episodes are downloaded automatically as soon as they are released, so I just have to select the episode under "new episodes" in my media center app on whatever device I'm on.

Even if I were to use a debrid service, I'd probably still use a VPN for it because I wouldn't want them to log my real IP.
