Depends on the pose, and or the story the image is trying to project. Standing characters where the sleeve ends don't show to the camera, not so much.

If the scene is complex with multiple character interactions, I tend to go with Hybrid, so I can adjust the arms and or upper body parts at the last minute. Call me a fiddler that is always tweaking a scene to a fault.

Shirt suit where the skirt is a sperate item then I convert the skirt to dynamic.

Victorian ball gowns with their large petticoats can be an issue with out a helper props under the skirt to mimic petticoats. Those I normally try to pose the character so you are not looking up the sleeve and cheat with conformers. If the character is walking up or down a set of stairs in a floor lenght dress or the like where you want the hem line it to follow the ground plane or stair steps....but those can be a lot of work in dynamic if you need to mimic petticoats also.

The results of dynamic are always superior compared to conformers.

Part of the problem with dynamic in the store is what I call the little black dress syndrone. Simple single layer of cloth. No cuffs, hems, pockets, buttons, or other details. Just a simple form fitting dress of varying lenght and bust exposure.

edited to add: I consider my self more then a newbie, but no expert as I am always trying and learing new tricks. How frequent can be every day for weeks to nothing for weeks as explained above regarding the scene.
