best bang for buck is to ride as hard as you can in the time you have available.
This, but with caveats. If weightloss is a priority, lowering intensity so that you're able to do the most volume is probably the best. If you go out hell for leather, you'll probably struggle to get out the next day, so if lower intensity means you get out more that might be best.
Consistency is king etc.

If you rode 'too hard' one day, you ride easier the next days until you can ride hard again. It's still riding 'as hard as you can for each session' => it's using the most calories in the time available. This isn't about training to win races, where you're aware of and extending your limits, it's simply about using the most calories you can in the time available. Humans are pretty good at self-selected pacing to last x minutes or x hours.

Ages ago, I once did 1h on a gym exercise bike at HR of 125-130 every day for a month.
Boring as shit. But as I used it as additional low impact exercise to complement martial art training in several evenings a week, it was additional calories burned with less toll on the body, and acted as recovery rides.Having said that, probably going to do a low intensity 1h ride on the turbo tonight (though mainly because my muscles are absolutely battered from yesterday)

Bollocks. Sure, there's an intensity where you will burn more fat than carbs but what's the point when you can use far more total calories by exercising harder? Unless you're barely able to walk, your best bang for buck is to ride as hard as you can in the time you have available.
Calories in vs. Calories out.
You use more calories during harder exercise and you use more afterwards.
If you overcompensate by eating more, you've failed to understand Calories in vs. Calories out.
