You mostly just have to use your judgment. Sites that steal names probably are just trying to cash in on ads, its not really that they are outright malicious though (not always anyway), and if youre acessing them by using prowlarr as opposed to going to the site in a dedicated tab then you probably have nothing to worry about.
All these clone sites are just using the same feeds and magnet links for sources, they have no original content so if you ad too many your results get cluttered but torrents on them shouldn't be any less safe than tpb or 1337x
Private trackers are always the way to go if you care about quality.
I like private trackers but require a level of commitment I can't really afford yet. The electricity bill etc. would skyrocket
If you care about quality and want to grind for a couple or more months*
That depends on the site. With a seedbox for even just one month (€6, one time), anywhere with freeleech becomes trivial with autobrr and a little bit of setup. I joined IPT not long ago and got over 1TB of buffer within 2 weeks. Music trackers and unforgiving niche are generally the hardest.
just don't download software or games and you'll be fine
I always look at the site's Wikipedia page, gives the correct url in its summary on the right of the page.
