Beginner's Guide to Choosing a Speedsolving Method

I am going to have to use the same excuse that Roux solvers use, and that is that a very small minority of people use Waterman, I am seriously considering switching to it, as it will still work well for 4x4 and higher.
Why would you completely switch methods when you average sub-10 with one? It takes a lot of work and dedication to be able to solve a 3x3 in under 10 seconds. I just don't understand how you can just completely throw that out the window.
 
Almost done with the new version! I won't be able to add sections for all the methods(obviously), but I wanted to briefly highlight some of the more popular ones. What do you think the most popular methods are other than CFOP, Roux, ZZ, and Petrus?



Because it would take just as much work, and the staff probably have better things to do than I do :p
Columns first and corners first.
Columns first variants : Columns for noobs, Intermediate columns, PCMS, SSC
Corners first variants : Waterman, Roux, Ortega, Guimond, LMCF.
Focus mainly on PCMS for columns and Waterman for Corners First.

I am extremely curious to know why you think Waterman has potential but Roux doesn't. I don't want to criticize before I hear your reasons.
 
Okay sorry I worded that very poorly, also, @Nmile7300 I didn't mean to react to your post with eyes up, tapped the wrong one. I would want to hear someone who thought Waterman was good but Roux sucked reasons as well, although I did make it seem like I was that guy, fixed my posts.
