I vary club selection from LW to maybe a 7i depending on many factors: green speed, green firmness, slope, mandatory carry, etc... . A key for me is to pick a club, given the circumstances outlined, which allows me to make a comfortable stroke. Sort of the Goldilocks approach. The stroke isn't too short to make it twitchy nor too long requiring lots of body motion, but just right.

I think everyone has a comfortable chipping stroke which is most repeatable. You can find it by picking a distance to chip and going through all the clubs until you find the one you get closest the mostest. That stroke should be applied as often as you can by just switching clubs as the circumstances change. I have tried this approach and it seems to work well.
