I've used XFCE and LXQt. I hapen to be using LXQt now. I'm happy with either.
I'm also happy with Icewm.

My advice: just instal aall three. Use a different one every day. You
get to choose one when you log in.

You'll know which you like quite soom while doing your normal workload.
And my guess is that you'll soon discover that it doesn't matter much.

The only significant time you'll "invest" is the time to install them.
The "experiments" will be just doing what you normally do on your
computer. Something yuo'll be doing anyway.
