Hearts vs Stamina?

I'm just curious what you guys prioritized. Personally, I value exploration over everything, so I maxed out my stamina before ever adding a heart. I even traded one of my extra hearts for stamina when I found out where you can do that. I know that was generally considered the best way to go in BotW, but "hearty" food was much more plentiful, so I wonder if people ate doing something different. I was watching Dunkey on YouTube, and he had about 13 or 14 hearts without having upgraded his stamina wheel once, which was shocking to me.
