[R] Least error-prone reading of Excel files?

[DynV Montrealer]

I'm tasked to read a table from an excel file and it doesn't mention which
method to use. I went back some lessons ago and the 5 years old lesson
mentioned to pick a package using the highest score the way of the attached
(screenshot). Since there's no requirement of a method to read Excel files,
I'd rather use the least error-prone one; what would that be? eg will try
multiple decompression algorithm if there's a decompression error.

Thank you kindly
