The articles I've found don't really provide an answer, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Creatine everyday.

BCAA's only if you're fasting before lifting or can't eat anything for awhile.

Creatine 5g per day everyday, no losing needed

BCAA aren’t needed if you are consuming enough dietary protein each day

5g of creatine every day. Timing doesn't matter, just get it in.

I do IF & eat at night so I'll do a bcaa at the gym in the morning. Around 1-2pm I'll start to feel like I need something more than water so I'll mix a BCAA then or one of these babies

This. Creatine cycling has no benefits, and its benefits come from constantly being there.

If you regularly get whole proteins and have whole proteins bioavailable at workout time from food or powder, BCAA's are unnecessary, IMO.

Consuming BCAA in the morning breaks your fast...they contain calories and also stimulate a release of insulin

It had zero cals, so why not. Mix with your coffee.
