It's definitely preference. But here's what I learned from the past 2 years of switch collecting. Top clackiest switches = Gateron CJ Poms & Durock Pom Linears & Durock T1s, on a budget? Don't worry, gateron milky/cap yellows & Akko switches are cheaper alternatives. As for thocky... this is a bit tricky to get, there's no such thing as a thocky switch, you will need to mod your keyboard wth certain mods, easiest being the tempest tape mod, to achieve "thocky". So with that being said, the deepest stock sound profile, IMO, would be the Gazzew Boba U4Ts & Boba Linear Thocks. Most people would probably say Gateron Black Inks, but they're not exactly "thocky", only in a heavy modded keyboards. As for budget options, as of right now, I only know KTT Strawberry as a good deep stock sound profile. All of this is my opinion and it all boils down to preference. And just because a switch is more expensive, it doesn't mean it's better! Sorry for the long essay. 😊
I recently got a tofu65 and I really like linear switches so I went with tealiosV2s but you could do some research and look at switch reviews to see what your switches suit you best.

Don’t apologize for the length that is the most helpful thing I’ve read all night

Have you considered getting a tester or small samples of switches you might be interested in?
No I haven’t really but I might do that now that you’ve brought it up
tecsee lake blues are underrated
