Different clients also handle feeds differently so you can’t be sure how things will look on someone else’s feed. For the longest time, quoted notes on Amethyst showed up as replies on Damus. It was weird.

Many times I don’t get notified if someone quotes a post, and I only know they quoted it because I happen to see it while scrolling in my feed. If someone instead replies then I always see it. Quote vs. Reply is not about one being right and one being wrong, it’s about the intent of the social interaction. If you want attention for yourself, then a quote is better. If you want a conversation with the OP, then a reply is better.
We still don’t have a MAIN app we use, there are many different clients that all have elements I enjoy. So I agree, no clear cut etiquette.
Amythest doesn't notify of quote replies so I'm doing it manually thru the regular reply. 👀👇🏾
