Very literally: just pick one, even if it's at random.

People have this awesome ability to work around all kinds of inefficiencies and stumbling blocks. If you had nothing else but pen and paper which you then submit to another person who somehow feeds it to a machine you would still find ways to achieve what you want efficiently.

Remember what people were able to do with punch cards!

Once you have a better understanding of the thing you're learning you'll be able to make your own reasoned choices about tools.
