There are just so many ball unsuited to my game that I simply give them away.
The two biggest surprise no nos to me last year were the Callaway Chromesoft Graphene and the latest Bridgestone B33RXS both disliked simply because of the feel of the clubface. Both balls I have loved in earlier versions.
But as always golf ball choice is a very personal thing

Same is true for the Prov1 (always the most expensive ball you can buy
)The variations between various incarnations of that ball can be very noticeable to the discerning golfer.

Can’t stand Taylormade balls, not keen on Titleist either.

I wonder how many could tell the difference if they did a blind test of golf balls.
Not so many I reckon.

For me the he AD333 feels far better than the Titleist TruSoft NXT however to be fair I don't use either very regularly and just hit both a few times.
Got a couple of AD333's in a welcome pack at a Scramble a couple of seasons back pulled one out the bag by accident as a provisional, just used it and kept it for the rest of the round. Still felt better than a Chrome Soft!

If you are beginning and just getting used to golf, I'd recommend not being choosy. If you are likely to lose a few balls, you don't want to fork out a lot of money for premium golf balls. Also, using a range of different golf balls will help you identify what you like and what you don't.
Once you are a bit more consistent and comfortable in your swing, then I'd recommend sticking with the same ball (at least over summer, might choose a different one over winter), as it can be unnerving using multiple balls that feel completely different on the club face. Especially for "better" players, they'll definitely benefit from a consistent ball.
Personally, I love the Callaway Chrome Softs, while for some reason never liked the Titelist ProV. I bought a batch of 60 Vice balls, because they can be bought online dirt cheap and it is said they are constructed like a Premium golf ball, and are cheap because they are online only. Honestly, I'm unconvinced. I didn't buy the top Vice model, but did still buy a 3 piece ball. It doesn't feel anywhere near as nice as a Callaway Chrome Soft.
I'd definitely avoid lake balls, their performance can be extremely variable. Other makes to avoid, generally, are Top Flight, Pinnacle, Commando, Dunlop, etc. Basically, they are the cheaper balls, I'm not saying they'll all be horrific, but they'll generally not feel as nice. Not a fan of the Callaway Warbirds or Srixon Distance, but they are the budget versions of those brands, so likely they'll not feel or perform as well as the more expensive ones.
