I looked fast and would've sworn the "Subject:" line said "how to type
monkeys".

Yeah, about the same as this kb here.  Probably different on my woreless
one at home.

It's a matter of preference/taste/comfort, and you generally just need
to try them all and see what works for you.

With my own awkward positioning, eg, my left ring-finger resting on the
UL corner of the kb until I need to type, my left thumb baps all the
keys on the left, and my right thumb baps all the keys on the right, so
if I need to ^S something, my thumb'll be hooked inwards and pressing on
the ctl key, then my index finger will bap the 's' key.  The spacebar is
up for grabs by whichever thumb is free at the moment.

If I happen to be stretched out doing a gangstah-lean with the kb 3' in
front of me so I can unbend my elbows, I'll typically "piano-key"
everything, so ^S will be ring-finger on the ctl key, and index on the
's'.

I don't "touch-type" control/alt/etc. keys, naturally, so from normal
touch-typing, yeah, I'll slow to poke-mode when needing to hit
keychords.  Weirdo ones like ctl-alt-M, it's *all* up for grabs.  Never
really gave it much thought, in fact.

Ymmv.
