As a result of learning about all these types of research methods I believe that qualitative data is the most beneficial. This is because there is an ability to receive data that is full of description and detail which gives the researcher an advantage over simple quantitative data. This type of research has more context and depth as it focuses on not just the data received from the subjects but also their behaviour, characteristics, opinions etc. This gives you a more developed answer overall and there is proper reasoning behind it. I think that primary research is best paired with qualitative research as I believe they go hand in hand. Primary data is received by the individual meaning that is acquired during the present rather than in the past. I think if you were to be researching quantitative data, secondary research techniques would be the most beneficial. This is because it is time efficient due to numerical data already being published onto the internet, in books, on the news etc. Quantitative data is also most reliable in secondary research resources rather than attempting to do it on your own, as it could be biased
