Yeah all these discussions are rather aimed at people who implement cryptography or have to make a well-thought hash choice at some point.
As a developer you should use something like libsodium that has a default "hash" API. Underneath, the developers made the choice of choosing Blake2, but this is transparent to the user of the library.
If you do not have access to high level libraries like that, and don't want to loose time/dig too much into the topic, following standards (SHA-3) is easy.
