Google search console will be my choice, but for reasons other than those that are commonly cited. my objective is to find pages with high impressions and low CTR or which appear between positionns 8 and 15. Small tweaks to such pages are often more successfull than writing an entirely new one.

GSC is the tool I rely on most. It shows what people are actually searching for to find my content, making it easier to improve existing posts instead of guessing what works.
for me, it is simply a notes taking system rather than a particular SEO tool. I take down questions, patterns, and topic ideas whenever I get them, as the best topic ideas will normally emerge out of things that i see during my research work. Tools help in verifying a topic, but some tymes do not provide you with the most suitable approach.
In my opinion, it is search console that should remain opened, as it will tell me what kind of queries and pages get impressions on the website, and not what is predicted by the tool.
And the true worth lies in discovering those unexpected queries and pages that just do not make it to the top.
That will provide you with better content ideas than those generated from keyword volumes alone.
The one that i consider to be the most under estimated tool is a spreadsheet in combination with search console. Tools can provides figures and facts, but seeing how the content was updated, how the rank changed, and which updates leds to improvements will help to create a better strategy. The real benefit lies in the analysis of patterns on your website.

For me, it’s Google Search Console. Writing the blog is only half the work. I need to see what people are actually searching, which posts are getting impressions, and where I’m ranking close enough to improve with a few updates. It has helped me find content opportunities I probably would have missed using keyword tools alone.
