When is it better to underpromote?

Here's another rather simple study that causes beginners some difficulty.
White to play and win
I made this besides the topic but I have to go to bed thus I place it fast here.
....now I'm wondering if overpromotion is arrogant or efficient w/out passion or wut....hmmm.
i didnt mean a best move typa choice. I meant like:
....and the pawn overpromotes to a queen instead of promoting to a castle.
Here is a 15 minute per side game I played. Note that after Black plays 8. ....Qb6 he always threatens Qxf2 check m,ate!
1-0 Black resigned.

When you've won 21 out of your last 23 games, Lola could probably put a Bishop there and it'd be declared Checkmate.

Was there an underpromotion in there somewhere?
I made ony a few about this.
First a chute but too simple one.
Then a very old one made when I was a kid named it the brick puzzel.
.
And till now my best.
.
After 4....Kg8 5.Ke7 Kh7 6.Kf7 Kh8 7.Bg7+ Kh7 8.Nf6# it is a fast mate.
And a last one funny because the first move has to be a3! and not a4? thus also the hardest one to solve.
Thus this one can t be hard anymore.

That position is an endgame study composed by E Pogosjants in 1976.

This one is cooked by 1.a4 - a Q promotion mates in 7.
It actually really depends on your position at the time
