Unless ISO layouts are all that you've used so far, go ANSI. US international has key combinations for a lot of Special Characters.

How you program your keyboard then should mostly depend on what layout your pc (or others that you may want to plug your keyboard in) is typically set to.

For example: I'm German and I need a way to type umlauts. I could set my pc to ANSI International and use qmk trickery to put the shortcuts for an umlaut on any single key, but then my keymap would be scrambled if I used the keyboard on any other device.

I’m Norwegian so I’m used to ISO with æøå instead of ‘<> or whatever. I am very open to new layout though and I’m even considering trying son Dvorak or Dvorak-like layouts. The season I’m asking this question is because I only use English on my “toy computers” like my Raspberry Pi’s, Arduino etc. so I’ll use some kind of English layout for those computers.
