In arr stack how to pick indexers? (lemmy.zip)

I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I'm not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something.

I'm a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there.

Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.

I use Prowlarr with Flaresolverr.

Setup the Flaresolverr indexer proxy in Prowlarr:
- Tags: flaresolverr
- Host: http://flaresolverr:8191/ (or whatever host+port your flaresolverr

And then I use these:
- 1337x (Add Tags: flaresolverr)
- TorrentDownload
- Knaben

It's not the best and Knaben is mostly just TPB + Rutracker. But this setup gets me everything I need. Everything wrong is filtered as I made my setup look for HEVC with specific bit rate ranges. Invalid file extensions are filtered out.

For actual downloading I use RDT Client with the TorBox debrid service.

Sometimes some indexing services time out but I'll get the content later.

In my experience, with this setup, I really don't need Usenet or private torrent trackers.
