Retainer glued in or popping one in and out?

I get where you're coming from. I actually went the opposite route—my orthodontist recommended a removable retainer after braces, and I thought it’d be easier to keep everything clean. But honestly, I kept forgetting to wear it at night, and after a few months my teeth started shifting a bit... which was pretty frustrating. The glued-in ones seem like less mental load, but I guess the trade-off is more flossing gymnastics. In hindsight, maybe I would've stuck with the permanent one if I'd realized how much discipline the removable needs.
