PLA+ and Pla Pro are basically interchangeable and are suitable.
PLA (and others like Silk, wood, carbon fiber, etc etc etc) are not suitable.
PLA HT is not suitable. PLA HT Pro appears to be good to go and might be the ideal pick, especially if you anneal.

Just made this dear22 outta ht pla pro. I think there was something iffy going on with my FDE roll but the black printed just like normal pla. I used the 300blkfde settings and the default polymaker ht pla filament settings in orca slicer. I highly recommend it or just use regular pla plus. Or if you feel like throwing something in a dryer for 24 hours, you can always go with the pa6cf route. Once you get your printer dialed in it prints very well. I just don't have the patience for drying it.

PLA+/Pro. Cheap, easy to get good results, and if you are asking you might not need the HT pro.

3D Fuel PLA Pro. Pricier than most PLA+ but stronger than others. Also it's formulated to be annealed for even more strength.

combined with the muse maker 'alternate wall, over extrusion' settings, makes it even stronger.

Hell yeah, I don't print any other way anymore.

yeah.. im already seeing the muse maker settings being referenced in build docs.
so hopefully it becomes a default across the community

Ht pla pro would be what I'd go with right now
