Using open source tools for FPGA development
Hopefully someone with more experience has a better answer but I'd say use whatever gets you across the finish line. I had a lot of luck with simple logic designs just using verilog but as things got complex I leaned harder into gui stuff like multisim. Playing with all the tools will help you with job interviews later. Even if you don't end up favoring a specific tool being able to say what you like and don't like about the tools will go a long way.
