I find using landscape fabric is what works best for me in controlling
weeds.

Landscape fabric works best for me for controlling weeds.

I have been gardening for 40+ years and have experimented with many of
the suggestions in your post. Landscape fabric allows weeds,
specifically crabgrass, to come through and they are very difficult to
remove.
For many years, I have covered my vegetable garden with black plastic
and it works well. Water and nutrients are not blocked as evidenced
by dark soil underneath and healthy, productive plants. It is not
very nice to look at but it does provide puddles for our cat to drink
out of. I suppose you could put a thing layer of soil over it and
grow turf or flowers but I've never tried that.
