If native at a high framerate doesn't work, I'll use any upscaling that gets me where I need to get to. DLSS tends to be the most effective one, so that is the one I turn to first.

Native, RX570, 1080p
4090 @ 3840x1600
It's so dependant on the game being played, most will be native as I'm playing a lot of older and indy games atm. For newer games with the options then DLAA > DLSS > Native. It's just use the given capabilities to achieve a certain FPS vs looks target.
Looks wise then DLAA always wins, followed closely by DLSS with Native and old tech AA being usually the worst. Pretty much never use FSR or XeSS so not sure how they perform

Native if at all possible, only use DLSS if I have no choice. This basically means Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 with RT enabled which need DLSS for high framerates.
That said I've just built a new machine which should only ever need DLSS in Cyberpunk.
Main rig: 4090 - 3440x1440
LAN rig: 3080 - 2560x1440

Depends.
For some games, I use nothing. For others.....
Starfield, for example, I use everything, including Frame Generation.
Frame Generation is something that sounds bad, but is actually amazing.

I use it in Cyberpunk (FMF in the preview driver) and it works really well delivering me higher tier performance without much noticeable lag.

I game at native with a 6800xt, 3440x1440 @ 165hz. Raytracing is a no go with my current card so I've never had to use FSR or XeSS to get more performance.

Upscaling all the way if the game can't achieve 80-100 at native.
DLSS is a game changer, no doubt.
And having just used the new FG mod for 3 series cards in Cyberpunk, wow, impressive!

Native, 6900XT, 1440p. It depends on the game regarding refresh rate but 90 or 120 suffices (monitor is 165hz).

7900xt, mostly everything I'm playing is native at either 1440p or 2160p (depending on if KB+M or controller), but I'd really like to have the option of FSR for ARK:SA.... getting 35-50fps 1440p native with mostly 'epic' settings....
Then again, that's not currently an issue because I can't currently connect to my (self hosted) server..... Either I'm doing something wrong or Snail/Nitrado have deliberately broken it somehow

Native all the way, which for me right now is 1440p.
Used to be able to hit 60+fps on my 980ti back in the day, but when that died and the old 970 couldn't handle 1440p, that was one of the reasons I stopped bothering to play PC games.
To me, upscaling is marketing nonsense from Nvidia/AMD to help sell their overpriced and underpowered modern GPUs.
Back in my day, a 1440p60 GPU was a straight-up no-nonsense 1440p60 GPU.
Next GPU I buy, I expect to be able to make good use out of a 4k high-refresh monitor, for a reasonable price. Or get good 1440p ultra raytracing performance for not breaking the bank. I guess neither is happening anytime soon.

Normally native at 3440 x 1440 (60 min, 100 usual, 100+ occasionally) + HDR
CPU: 7950X
GPU 7900 XTX (Nitro+)
However, I found that the hair models in BG3 looks wrong at native resolution, but looks proper when using FSR 2.2 at Ultra settings, so have used that in BG3 recently for better looking hair.
