Start at low to check the composition, then raise the level only for the keepers.
Medium is enough for most social and web images.
Save high and max for the image that will be published.
Workflow
Put it together
Draft with GPT Image at low, compare the best prompt with Nano Banana Pro, upscale the winner and animate it with Kling. Save the flow in Spaces.
