Stevenson–Arce dithering uses a hexagonal (honeycomb) distribution pattern, which makes diagonals and curves appear smoother and more organic than with rectangular kernels. That makes it a good fit for floral, nature, and fine-art style engravings where you want to avoid a visible row-based grain. It runs slower but can deliver a distinctive, structured look on wood, canvas, and leather; use it at 300+ DPI when the subject benefits from smoother curves.
