For me the first switches I bought felt mushy. You could argue I didn't do my research, but you can end in same place with this Glove, should I get the normal Reds or the Red Pros? Maybe I would like the tactility of the Browns better? Then again what is the point of having a mechanical keyboard without THONC so maybe Whites aren't that bad?
With hot-swap you can just buy a set and if you don't love it you don't need to buy a whole another keyboard.
But I do get that some people know exactly what they want, but I often need couple tries before I get what I like.
With the Kailh Choc switches, I wouldn't bother with anything other than linear. -- The tactile on Kailh choc is very lame; the 'clicky' sounds like insects crawling, and isn't all that satisfying.
It boils down to knowing what you really want and what your priorities are. I owned the same mech keyboard for a decade now. I've only tried other types of switches a handful of times.
But also the most memed by the mechanical keyboard community. Although I do think they are a good compromise for open office use, but personally I prefer more “click/thonk”
