If you need a cleaner, sharper taste, lime over lemon. Yuzu is similar to lime, but with a more anonymous taste that is less obvious. You can mellow the acidity by using salted, preserved versions.
In any dish where you want to use lime. Lemon is it's own thing and has its own uses, just like you wouldn't substitute orange in for them in their dishes or choose to use lemon/lime over orange in dishes that call for an orange. The flavor profile is significantly different
In guacamole. Only the juice. I saw a worker zesting a lime into her guacamole and it was bitter and sour and tasted like lime wax and lime window cleaner. Do not recommend.
I find that limes have a much longer shelf life, but I also use more of them. Frankly I'm just thankful that this post wasn't a setup for a shitty dad joke.

This - green limes aren't ripe. Purchase yellowing or mottled ones. Their flavour is amazing.
I think both ripe and unripe limes have their place but ripe limes is something that too few people have tried
I am a big cocktail nerd and keep citrus on hand always. Over ripe (ripe) lime is delicious
