Salko, There is no right answer or perfect glue. All the ones you mention have there place and all have there advantages and drawbacks.
Yellow glue sets up fast. Could be good or bad if it is a complicated glue up.
White glue gives a little more open time and dries clear but is limited to indoor projects.
Titebond 3 and the Gorilla style glues are great for exterior projects along with some epoxies.
For any complicated glue-up’s and most of my normal furniture glueing jobs, I use a liquid hide glue. Long open time, easy clean up with cold water the next day. Although the big drawback to that is you need to keep the glue warm so it flows out and needs to be clamped for 12 to 24 hrs.
You will end using all these types so it is good to have them in your arsenal. Best to buy small bottles….
