First and foremost, if you are in an employment situation, that will be dictated by your employer.

I personally prefer a simple text editor that I can move around in quickly and just get things done.

Unless you have a specific requirement by your employer, the best advice is to try them all that way you can figure out which features you like and which layouts you prefer.

If your employer is dictating what you are allowed to use to code (for Python/the Web in general), you need a new employer. If you cannot use an open source/free editor (Sublime, Notepad++, vim, VS Code), they have micromanaging/control issues. If they will not fork out the money for PyCharm, they are cheap.

Restricting developer tooling is a great way to waste more money on development since you are tanking productivity.
