Ah, the joys of enterprise software. Where the answer is always 'it depends' and the points don't matter.

Ah, the age-old question: SOAP or REST? I always say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But in this case, I'd probably go with the REST API. It's more modern and easier to work with.

I think SOAP API might be a bit outdated for this use case. REST is definitely the better choice.

Hold up, what about the Subscriber API? Isn't that the one for managing subscriber information in Marketing Cloud? Seems like a good fit for triggering an email based on a purchase.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about the SOAP API. Isn't that a bit old-school these days? I'd go with the REST API and the Subscriber API to handle the user data.

I'm not sure, but I think SOAP API could also work for this scenario.

The Email API and REST API seem like the obvious choices here. Marketing Cloud is all about email, so the Email API makes sense. And the REST API is a common choice for integrating external systems.
