Entropic advantage:

Count your moles: Left side, 2 moles. Right side, 7 moles.

Ferrous sulfate is not used in redox titrations because it is easily oxidized by air in a laboratory setting, leading to inaccurate results. It is also easily hydrolyzed in the presence of water, affecting the stability and reliability of the titration. Alternative titrants with more stable and reliable properties, such as potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate, are preferred for redox titrations.
Methyl orange is not suitable for acid-base titrations because its color change occurs over a broad pH range (pH 3.1 to 4.4), making it less precise for determining the endpoint of the titration. It is also susceptible to interference from other substances present in the solution, leading to inaccurate results. Other indicators, such as phenolphthalein or bromothymol blue, are preferred for acid-base titrations due to their sharper color changes at specific pH values.
Weak acids are not generally used as the titrant in titrations because their pH changes gradually with the addition of base, making it difficult to clearly identify the equivalence point. Strong acids are preferred for titrations because they produce a sharp pH change at the equivalence point, allowing for more accurate endpoint determination.
It depends on the specific requirements of the titration. HCl is a strong acid and may be preferred for titrations where a strong acid is needed, while H2SO4 is a diprotic acid that may be used for more complex reactions requiring two acidic protons. The choice between the two will depend on the specific characteristics of the reaction being studied.
H2SO4 is preferred over HCl in redox titrations because HCl can release Cl2 gas during the reaction, which can interfere with the titration results. H2SO4 provides the necessary acidic conditions for the redox reaction without introducing additional complications.

had preferred
I would have preferred to answer another question. What you preferred is not what I want. The judges preferred the other contestant.
So what do you like? Is pizza more preferred to you?
Preferred stocks and preferred are exactly the same thing. Preferred is just an abbreviation that is used so that people in the know can use their jargon.
non preferred
Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator - it does not show the end-point in a thiosulfate type titration. Starch gives a very sharp end-point from a blue-black to colorless end-point when titrating iodine with thiosulfate. Phenolphthalein would just not detect this change.
The answer depends on preferred to WHAT!
