Which options can you actually take?
Only stops connected to the current node are selectable. You cannot backtrack. A route recommendation therefore has to fit the map in front of you, not a fixed sequence from another run.
Ordinary fights scale to the team’s average level according to the current help. Benching a strong Pokémon is not described as a way to lower encounter levels.

The following choices are recommendations based on documented node functions; they are not measured win-rate rankings.
Recovery is urgent
Compare the branch reaching a campfire with another fight
Campfires offer 50% healing and establish loss checkpoints.
Balls or healing supplies are low
Consider a reachable shop if you have Coins
Shops sell the documented supplies.
You want another team member
Consider a Wild encounter
Wild wins can lead to a catch attempt.
An Elite lies ahead
Review health, moves and loss protection first
The help describes a stronger fight with better rewards.
What is the cost of taking a risky branch?
If a battle loss consumes a Revive, the help describes a return to the last campfire in the current act with half HP and half Coins lost. Without a campfire, the return is the act start. Without a Revive, the run ends.
This makes checkpoint access relevant to route choice, but does not establish that every safe-looking branch is optimal.
