This is strictly my personal opinion.
Which optimization solver to pick really depends on the characteristics
of the data being optimized, how (well) the algorithm is implemented in
the versions included in Calc, the accuracy goal etc. etc. It's more an
art than science, and each user really needs to experiment with various
solvers to see which one works best for his or her optimization cases.
My personal opinion is that it is probably beyond the scope of Calc user
guide to provide any sort of guidance on how to select a solver.
Feel free to disagree with me on this. I'm not an expert. :-)
