Material choices for prototypes

I’ve been experimenting with different filament types for rapid prototyping and noticed how crucial it is to match the material properties to the intended use case. For instance, using PETG instead of PLA has improved durability in my recent designs. I’m curious if anyone else has insights on material selection for specific applications or if you’ve encountered surprising results with particular filaments?
