my first choice has always been an aspirin, but most of my coworkers tell me I’m wrong and I should use ibuprofen first.

What’s your take?

    I pretty much always go ibuprofen, but aspirin is fine.

    I’m pretty sure acetaminophen is snake oil though (this is a joke but I can’t recall ever having it resolve a headache for me like ibuprofen does).

        Yep. Got diagnosed with a genetic liver issue and the immediate rule from the doctor was “Nothing with acetominophen ever again. You can probably get away with a (alcoholic) drink or two a week, but don’t even think about acetominophen.”
