The one that stands out as "most frequent" is the escape+undo, but
I've done a little of most of those depending on the context. I've
also been known to do the soldier on and then delete the remainder
after my insertion (not sure whether your "soldier on" included
making the deletions/edits in insert mode in addition to the text
insertion).

Additionally, I use t/T/f/F/;/, frequently which I've found improves
my accuracy. I tend not to use w/W/b/B/e/E nearly as much unless (1)
the word I'm in is clearly whitespace delineated letting me use
w/b/e and W/B/E interchangeably, and (2) I don't need to do a very
large count multiplier. I've found it's much easier for me to do a
quick visual count of "r"s and then use something like "c3tr".
