Hatching vs. Raids vs. Wild
Where are the best Pokémon to be found?
I feel it goes this way
1. Hatch
2. Raid
3. Wild
Not to say this is absolute, but I find my hatched mon are consistently better quality over wild.
I got a 100% Magikarp in a raid, but feel few of the available raids will net a valuable mon in the meta.
Hence my ranking. Thoughts?

Hmm, I haven’t seen anything good in my weather wild catches. Nearly all of my 100 CP’s came from hatchings.
Clearly I need to raid more often. However, what’s the point when most of the available raids aren’t great to have or hard to get a group together? There aren’t many groups raiding the good stuff locally outside the Legendaries, and they’re mostly irrelevant.
I find that weather boosted wild catches are the best value. I have a few with excellent IV's but most are in the "OK" range 60-89%, but when it's Level 30+ already it doesn't matter. Particularly for the low candy cost mons such as Eevee, Exeggcute, Rhyhorn, etc. (I suppose I've been weather fortunate with Clear or Partly cloudy most of the time)
In the past two week I've evolved five 2300+ CP Jolteon, four 2600+ CP Vaporeons (including two 2800+), a 2400+CP and 2600+CP Flareons, and three 2400+CP Exeggutors at the cost of exactly ZERO stardust. Which means I can run 6 deep with Water, fire, electric or grass with some high powered mons.
I've evolved three 2900+ CP rhydons, but two have RS/SE.
At this point I almost reflexively delete all hatches unless they are either 100% or something rare like aerodactyl or lapras.
Most raid mons are gym fodder unless it's a legendary, primarily doing them for the candy opposed to the actual mon. I'd take a 73% Lv 34 abra over a 91% Lv 20 Alakazam any day.
