How to STACK all sorts of Buffs & Bonuses based on each Type and their sources

First, it's important to establish how the Stacking rules work: usually, bonuses of the SAME type will not stack with themselves. The most common exceptions are:
1. Dodge Bonuses
2. Untyped ("Other) bonuses
3. Natural AC: in this case, Enhancement sources of Nat AC won't stack with each other, but other sources of it tend to stack, such as Beast Totem, from size increasing spells like Legendary Proprortions (but this won't stack with another size spell like Frightful Aspect) & racial or monster bonuses.

With that out of the way, let's cover some of the most common sources of each individual Bonus Type. I can't possibly cover them all as many classes and archetypes have unique abilities specific to them that can increase some bonuses.
1. Enhancement: works for Armor, Weapon, Natural & Attributes.
Usually from Weapon & Armor Enchantment, Amulets, Belts & Headbands.
2. Deflection: only works for AC, from Rings of Protection or Shield of Faith spell.
3. Size: treated mostly as a source of Nat AC from size increasing spells like Legendary Proportions or Frightful Aspect, and there's also a particular Size boost to AC if you reduce your character through let's say Reduce Person or penalty if you increase it.
4. Insight: can cover a lot of effects. Most common source is from the Inspiring Command from Nobility Domain, or Foresight spell to AC.
5. Sacred: pretty rare and valuable. Eaglesoul spell for good aligned characters, and also Burst of Glory. The best one is Guarded Hearth from Community Domain. Also Inquisitor Judgment.
6. Luck: often from the Prayer spell, also Luck Bracers your main character starts the game with, and later the Embroidered Gloves. Divine Favour & Divine Power are great self buffs for this as well.
7. Armor & Shield: these are the BASE armor and shield value of you gear, not the enhancement bonus. For Armor, you can also replace it with Mage Armor spell that is further boosted by Archmage Armor Mythic Ability. Armor bonus also often has a DEX modifier limit, the heavier the armor, the less DEX you can add to your AC.
8. Dodge; a great source of stacking bonus, but very limited. Usually from the Haste spell or the Dodge feat.
9. Morale: a common and very useful source both to AB, Saves & even damage. Comes from the Heroism line of spells & also their "upgrades", Good Hope & Heroic Invocation for extra damage.
10. Cooking/Food: can have all sorts of different buffs. My favorites are Curse Pillaf for +1 to AB, Conflagrant Taco for +4 to ALL ability scores, and also Demon Slayer Soup for the hefty boost to AB, Damage & saves. You CAN actually get 2 food buffs at once as explained in the video.
11. Inherent: from Tomes of + Stats or the Elixir from Bokken.
12. Profane: another pretty rare source. Biggest boosts are from accepting Nocticula's Gift, and also the Shy Lily Helmet.
13. Resistance: Cloaks and the Angelic Aspect spell. This works for boosting your saving throws.
14. Competence: often from Bard Song & Skald Rage. Can make a really big difference for AB and also damage.
15. Untyped: the king of all buffs. Stacks with EVERYTHING. Best source is probably Visions of Madness ability from Madness Domain. Also Fighter Weapon Focus & Specialization feats and some others shown in video.
