Hi, how are you? Well, about the title, which microcontroller do you prefer to use and in what situation do you use it? The question comes from the fact that I am buying some microcontrollers to use throughout my university career, specifically I bought an Arduino nano, a Raspberry Pi Pico , a STM32F103C8T6 and an ESP32, I would like to know your opinion about these and about any other that may be useful to me

No one should use the STM32F103 in 2024. STM is making the world a worse place by still selling it (although to be fair, 99% of those sold are fake labelled Chinese clones, not ST's).
I get that they're still selling them because of legacy products. The bigger problem is those starting on them, despite improved lines having been around almost 15 years now. Really should mark them "not recommended for new products", but no one would look at that
"not recommended for new products" only means that the supply will start to dwindle
if something fits needs and is cheap enough, it will continue to exist
I'm shocked that people in this thread are just going "ohhh shiny" at newer chips
