Hi Bjoern, I think the best way is to use the TMS overlay in JOSM or QGIS so you can visualize what OLC would be best for a building.
Just add this as a TMS layer in either tool: https://grid.plus.codes/grid/tms/{z}/{x}/{y}.png and then zoom in to the building level. I also suggest using the full 10 digit codes only, not the shortened forms. Let me know if I can help with any of that.
