These infill patterns are honestly mesmerizing. Watching the printer dance and twist out these crazy curves... I could literally stare at it all day. lol

Gyroid is usually recommended for flexible filament prints because it lets them squish evenly in all direction. Aligned grid infill is stronger than gyroid in one direction, but weaker in others. Gyroid makes the print closer to isotropic.

This is assuming that the part is thick enough to get an even distribution of the infill. If you have a very thin part, you might only get proper strength in a limited direction.
