How do you choose between antidepressants?

GPST2 here. I want to become more knowledgable about how to choose between antidepressants for patients. Outside of what has commonly been said to me that mirtazipine has good sleep properties the rest of it feels somewhat like trial and error. I wanted to see if anyone can share their strategies for choosing between antidepressants. Do certain antidepressants work better for certain conditions or for certain populations? Anectodal advice is appreciated but if you have any evidence base tips I would be extremely grateful.
