I haven't seen anyone pick a Mordenkainens tiefling.

I saw a lot of phb ones picked.

Its the look/cool factor. They didn't become decent until tashas. Mordenkainens was an improvement but cha was locked in.
Can't help but notice that your bar for "good" just keeps going up. Another couple posts and I expect the "lore" choice to need +3cha +2 floating minimum just to clear "ok" or "workable"

There was lots of power creep in 5.0 andv4 versions of tieflings.

PHB was the weak one.
As DM, I only allow the 2024 Players Handbook version, as that one balances well with the other species options and is the most versatile to build character concepts.

We started using Tashas.

I dont allow the SCAG one.

Mordenkainens is fine.

Fire resistance is situational and the extra spells are basically common now.
