What's your preference? Do any fonts look weird for you with "full"? (Deja Vu Sans does for me, it gets super-thin)

Slight with RGB rendering

Hintnone with greyscale AA, everything else is too blurry.
Wouldn't resolution and/or display size matter here as well? 1366x768 here, ready to kill myself any day now..

Absolutely. That's why the font renderer on Windows 10 can get away with being horrid today, because displays are both higher res and higher DPI now and it's not as noticeable that it's shite anymore. Some people are frustated enough that they started a project that uses Freetype as system font renderer on Windows so that fonts look better there, too. They call it MacType. Didn't know macOS used Freetype as well...
I'm guessing lower-res screens would profit from subpixel rendering, but then the rainbows from the RGB AA are very visible. So grayscale seems good.
I have a not-so-high DPI 1920x1080p and don't enable RGB subpixel rendering on it. Only found out yesterday that none and slight hinting look better on it (at least to me) as well.
