The fulcrum position. A low fulcrum close to the claw lifts almost vertically; one further back arcs the nail out and crushes the surface as it turns.
It gives the leverage. Longer pullers at 300mm and 360mm draw a nail with less force at the hand, and a slow controlled pull marks the surface less than a hard fast one.
A claw takes the shank of a nail that still stands proud. A pincer bites into one that has snapped off flush, which no claw can get under at all.
One combining a claw at one end with a bar at the other, so a fixing and the board it is in are dealt with using the same tool.
228mm, 250mm, 280mm, 300mm and 360mm on the claw pullers, with an 11 inch pry bar nail puller and a 175mm pincer alongside.
Pack under the fulcrum with scrap so the puller bears on that rather than the finished surface, and pull slowly rather than snatching the nail out.
