The way I discovered the answer to this (as a lay practitioner) is use what is offered. However eventually circumstances will arise that allow you to see, or know, which is "meant" for you. I was approached by a teacher at a monastery and transmitted a specific practice.
I am/was at this exact point since 2022. I would say you watch yourself when encountering the different deities and you watch for little hints outside and inside. In my case, it was a photo I have had for years and I finally displayed it in a frame and it felt like the whole atmosphere in the house changed. Then, you investigate from there, "test drive" the Yidam, so to say.
very profound teaching here. Such an excellent synthesis.
Gracias!🙏

How should one choose a yidam to practice? I'm sure some people will have an easier time practicing one vs another.
