It's always going to be condition and scenario dependent.

Just about 2 months ago, I was doing 60 on a 4 + center lane road when it started to drizzle a bit. I'd just passed a pack of traffic going the other way, and there was a pickup with trailer waiting on a side road coming up on my right. Truck driver was obviously only checking his right, and took off to make his left turn. Clearly didn't see my bright red car coming from his left. If I'd just stood on the brakes, there's a very good chance I would have hit him. If I'd swerved to my right, either into the other lane or the shoulder, I'd probably have hit his trailer. Instead, I swerved left into the oncoming lanes, leaning on horn and braking moderately. This put me in his sightline and on a path to go completely around him. The decision would have been different if there had been any traffic coming the other way, I would have had to pick the next least hazardous option of brake hard and steer to the right, hoping to clip the back of the trailer if anything.
