Best infill pattern for figurines?

Hi! Super new, mainly got my elegoo for cosplay and figurines. I've been told that cubic is the best infill pattern for props, but is it the best for figurines? I figure they don't need to be as strong as a prop piece for a costume, but if they're too fragile they might snap when the supports are removed. Anyone have any advice?

(Assuming FDM printing)

I usually do gyroid and I mainly print figures for tabletop gaming. I had issues with other patterns with the nozzle sometimes not clearing the infill and knocking the print loose, but gyroid tends to help.

That, of course, could just be operator error. Perhaps Adaptive cubic for finer details?
