ach vs play+ vs crypto for cashing out, smoothest?

Trying to settle this for myself. I've used all three to pull money out and they all have a catch.
Crypto is fastest once approved but you eat a network fee and the price wobbles while it moves. ACH is set-and-forget but 2 to 5 business days feels like forever after a good night. Play+ prepaid is interesting because the money lands on the card same day usually, then you move it to your bank or spend it.
What's been smoothest for you all around, factoring in fees and not just raw speed? I lean crypto but the fee math annoys me on smaller cashouts. For a 60 dollar pull the fee ratio is brutal.
This is for regulated apps mostly, fwiw.
