Is it better to get 100 out of 100 wordle's correct in 6 guesses or is it better to get 95 out of 100 but your average (correct) guess count be lower? And how does that reframing of the goal change the strategy? This is far more interesting to me than the game itself.
So is it more important to finish the puzzle itself or attempt to finish it in a bragworthy fashion?

it's better to be able to brag about getting it low and done, if you can't get it low at least you get it done
but I get it in one try every time now, just need to switch up your technique

You don't have to make that choice. I've "won" all 20 games, 9x with 3 guesses, 8x with 4 guesses and 3 with 5. No wins with 1, 2 or 6.
Why does everyone feel the need to post their mediocre boards. I would think those that get the word in 1, 2, or even arguably 3 guesses warrant a post. The rest are just displaying mediocrity.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I do remember thinking "well done" after reading about your accomplishments.

My wife consistently does it in three or less. Any advice on how to beat her?

my technique is, look up the answer for the wordle of the day and put it in
I get it in one try every time
So maybe get the first one wrong so you get it in two
also, I don't condone beating your wife
just seems like a bad plan all around, have you learned nothing

I knew you'd go for the easy punch line.
