It is normal that a programmer feel lost when deciding which macros he/she should use. We recommend mostly using our virtualization macros (VM, TIGER_VM, FISH_VM, etc) as they offer the biggest protection in latest versions of our protection.

 

It's not a good idea to insert multiple (different) protection virtual machines as the final size of your application will growth noticeably. A good approach is to use a lighter VM (like FISH/TIGER) for your code that needs to be quite protected but also executed fast and use a heavier VM (like FISH_BLACK, PUMA, SHARK, ...) for your code that needs to be highly protected and you can afford that extra time that it takes to execute the virtualized code under the heavier VM.
