Snap Layouts or manual positioning for a mixed-resolution dual-monitor setup?

I run a dual-monitor Windows 11 workstation where the two displays have different resolutions and scaling levels, and I need to decide on a consistent window management approach for daily multitasking.

Snap Layouts (via the maximize button hover or Win+Z) offer fast, predefined grids, and Snap Groups can restore an arrangement as a unit. However, the available layouts change with screen real estate, and some applications refuse to shrink below their minimum window size, which breaks certain grid options on the smaller display. Manual positioning gives pixel-level control and handles non-standard window sizes, but loses the grouping and quick-restore behavior.

My constraint is that I frequently move the same set of three to four apps between the two monitors and want predictable placement without re-dragging windows after docking or undocking.

Which approach is more reliable when the two monitors report different effective resolutions to the snap engine? Does the 'Snap windows' toggle under System > Multitasking affect Snap Group persistence across monitor changes? Are there documented limits on which layout grids appear on lower-resolution or portrait displays?
