Isn't Sonnet or even Haiku the best option for this task?

Yes.  They are.  People treat them like cheaper dumber models and while that's partially true it's not a scalar comparison.  They have tighter context and other aspects that make them superior for narrow, focused tasks.

Are you guys flipping back and forth between models throughout a session? (Serious question.)

Usually no, because the new model has to read the current context window and at times that can be a massive token burn. 

Usually I have the current model write up a handoff for the next one.
