Self-made cards or prebuilt cards?

For context, I recently read that someone lost their 1,480-day Anki streak and that it was the best thing that had ever happened to them.

I also got into a small, friendly discussion about how self-made flashcards are much more memorable.

My story:

I've been using the Kaishi 1.5K decks to reach around N4. They are undoubtedly the best free decks ever made. After that, though, I got lost and had to create the cards myself: Yomitan, Mangatan, Migaku, they are extremely good for mining. However, doing this for a long time has made me enjoy the medium less. Recently, I came across an app called Amenokori. I tried the N3 deck, and it's the best I've ever seen. For example, I didn't know that we could use 上がる in six different ways. This card provides all six ways with explanations and examples. The app isn't completely free, but the free version is good enough. That's why I switched, admitting that I will never build the same kind of decks like that. Before it, I tried Bunpro decks, they are good, some free to use, but not provide enough context and depth of the terms.

Disclaimer:

This is my main account, and I am not affiliated with any of the apps I mentioned above. I hate that it sounds like I'm promoting the pre-built decks. I found them on TokToK and tried them out.

I created this post to hear difference opinions about learning materials. I know the answer is to always choose what suits you best, but I'm still hoping someone has a tool they could recommend that I'm unaware of so I can try it out.
