Do you use cloudfare tunnel or a vpn like tailscale or wireguard ? Why would you choose of these over the other? (alien.top)

I use all three.

CF tunnels to access generic apps I want public.
Tailscale to have remote access to my home network.
Wireguard tunnel going to a VPS for apps that I don't feel comfortable running through CF due to the bandwidth (Jellyfin, AzuraCast).

I totally could move everything that's on CF tunnels over to Wireguard, but I see no need to do it. Cloudflare is trustworthy enough and I like the additional protection it offers.

How would you keep the public apps public if you require a wireguard connection to access them?
