Honestly I think all of those a waste of action or bonus action. But I tryed them out just I think it's better if I do a standard attack. I usly sell them.
There are plenty of confrontations that you can see coming. That gives you time to prepare. Switch to turn based mode, liberally apply coatings to your weapons, depending on charactaristics of the enemy, and then initiate combat. There is no need to waste a (bonus) action in those cases. By the way, this method also solves the OP problem of having to remember what you have in your inventory while you are busy fighting.
