To get an idea how each alternative behaves, you can view some Youtube
videos comparing them, like:

https://youtu.be/8V_2g6LxNbs?t=171

If you go with OpenShell, and after spending a long time going through
and testing all the settings to get what you like best, and as mentioned
in the video, you might also want to incorporate Explorer Patcher.

Just remember that after getting engrained in your customized old-style
Start menu that you will be lost when you have to use a different box
running the same OS, but without the shell alternative.
