What's the best way to use enigmail with subkey?

Enigmail has precisely zero code that second-guesses GnuPG. We don't ask for passphrases: we let GnuPG decide when and how to ask for passphrases. We don't ask you which symmetric cipher or hash to use: we let GnuPG decide which to use. Anything GnuPG has clearly decided is its responsibility, we don't touch. That's been a guiding principle for many years, it's worked well for us, and this close to the end of Enigmail I don't expect we'll be changing it.

Choosing a subkey is GnuPG's responsibility, so -- we don't touch it.

It is possible to override GnuPG's subkey selection algorithm by setting flags in gpg.conf. It is definitely not recommended.
