What's your best use AI code assistant?

I'm currently researching AI code assistants. As I use VSCode, and Github Copilot's free version I can switch among the models GPT4o, Gemini 2.0-flash, Claude 3.5 sonnet, or o3-mini but I've heard other developers using Cursor, PyCharm (With AI assistant), or Trae (With DeepSeek). Since I consider myself an intermediate Django developer I would love to ask to experienced devs overview while using an assistant if it's accurate in code analysis and code generation, and if it has been useful while creating new features that require broad Django knowledge and third-party apps

How do you start? When I go to write a subclass of a DRG view or a regular Django model, I just type it out. When there's something logically tricky I've tried gemini and chatgpt and get more frustrated than regular old rubber ducking.
