I think the traditional axiom applies somewhat: Easy, Fast, Cheap - Pick two.
However, as pointed out by Rachel, there are nuances to the different options. For example, I'm still not clear how fast TECEPs and UExcel exams are? When I started looking into TECEPs, it seems that you need to sign up for TESU and wait for the next session to start? That doesn't seem fast. And even one of the self-paced ASU courses, I had to wait months to access it, and now I've been waiting two weeks since completing it! As for easy, both TECEPs and UExcels, while they are relatively fast and cheap, there are widely varying levels of difficulty. So the ultimate answer is almost always "It depends..." Often it's a combination of ASU, ONU, TEL, TECEP, UExcel, etc.
