My hardware supports all. So was thinking what would be better? I know AVX2 is better but was thinking if it has any drawbacks

You can take AVX2, the only drawback I can see is slightly more CPU temp while using these instructions but it's negligeable.

gotcha thanks for your opinion!

Any benchmarks on this? Lets assume I've got a 14900ks. Avx2 would mean lower single thread speed, but the instructions accomplish more.
