that's what I am trying to learn. I only grew up single pole jigging Lake O and bobber fishing at night. So anything else is new. Looks like from what I can determine is for most other lakes, spider rigging would be better late fall to early spring where crank baiting is better summer. either way I would be using my I-pilot, but at different cruise control speeds depending on what style. (which I am trying to learn the terminology).

what I gathered from reading and searching youtube videos. my speeds may be off a little as there was no science and everyone had a different opinion and varied.

crankbaiting is faster troll around 1.4
long lining similiar to crankbait, but pulling jigs normally tandem at about .8
spider could be push/pull at about .4 line is straight up and down.
