Which one of these rut-related hunting techniques has given you the MOST success attracting bucks?
If none of the above, explain

I am assuming you mean to your stand.
I voted none of the above, but I could give it 50/50 between a loud grunt call and my natural snort wheeze I do with my mouth. Deer are such curious animals, a grunt loud enough can bring them in if for no other reason than to see what/who made the sound they heard. The CAN ranks just behind the grunt call.
If you had asked what brings in more mature bucks, I would hands down have said snort wheeze. The success I have had calling in out of range bucks and even more often blindly calling in bucks that forced me to make a decision rivals no other technique I have ever used. Absolutely deadly in the woods, a sound that any single buck out cruising for company, if he hears it, he will undoubtedly investigate. With either his nose or his eyes.

What works for me is finding sign and getting on it.
Why do you want to make things so difficult ??
Please explain . .

The best thing I have found is to find a good travel funnel with fresh sign, and sit there and watch it. From downwind. And be quiet. And still. And patient.
