It depends on your expectations and the level of details / size of each piece.

What do you mean? Like sls and sla?
It really depends on your expectations of the finished product. Do you want lots of pieces? Or just a few? Do you want super high quality? Or do you just want a quick draft? Do you want the pieces to be strong? Etc…
For a quick rough draft, I would recommend using FDM printing, which is the cheapest and lowest quality option.
For higher quality parts, I would choose SLA printing, because the resin used often produces higher quality finishes.
FDM and SLA printers are both considered “desktop” printers, but for a SUPER professional part their are all kinds of crazy manufacturing methods. However, these methods are typically EXTREMELY expensive, and I don’t really recommend them for most common uses.
I hope this helps! I could probably give you a more detailed response if you specified your expectations.

These are different printing technologies which deliver different end results.
