JStris offers the most 'vanilla' gameplay, closest to the official guideline games. It's devs are very dedicated to the game, and are very respondent to player feedback. It's the most resource-intensive of all Tetris games for PC, though. It also has LOTS of single-player modes that don't rely on the Zone mechanic. Whether that's good or bad depends entirely on you. Tetris Effect has very unique game modes and gameplay. If you get bored of battle royale, you get bored of the entire game. Tetris 99 is more battle-royale oriented that all other 1vs1 games, but has rather limited gameplay. But it has it's fair share of problems, related to lag, unbalance, and their developers.

PPT1 and 2 have the least gimmicky 1vs1 gameplay of all the official versions, if you exclude Puyo Puyo. This will make it easier to sink your teeth into the game assuming you don't hate the client completely, and from there you can continue exploring. The best way- if not, one of the best ways- to get better is to play more. If anything, I would recommend starting on the clients with the most axtive playerbases, as this will make playing easier. Finding the right client isn't about jumping into it and playing nothing but that: you can always take a break or hop to an entirely different platform to play. It's entirely up to the player on how they invest their time and potentially, money. Like this example with cars, each one will have its own needs. Personally, ever since I started playing TOP and Nuketris, I started to realize after at least 500 hours of Jstris and Tetrio (I can't give an accurate number ngl), I discovered that I actually really enjoy a lot of the 'slower' face paced games.

The more you play, the more you begin to feel yourself. It can just be differences in handling, or new mechanics like Tetrio's combat system. Every client is different in some way, as that's what makes them different.
