Can you explain how determinism applied to quantum mechanics results in superdeterminism? I feel like you've just skipped over an important step here. Determinism isn't a controversial idea, and indeed in QM the wavefunction is fully deterministic anyway, it's only interpretations which require a collapse where non-determinism appears. I can understand roughly why the many worlds in MWI are a consequence of assuming the wavefunction is reality and that there is never a collapse, I do not understand how you get to the consequences of superdeterminism from applying determinism to quantum mechanics.
(And yeah, preference for any of these interpretations will essentially boil down to what idea you like the most, or more likely what idea you dislike the least. With QM you pick your reasonable base assumptions and then take the uncomfortable conclusions that result)
