Arre, inductive effect is like a permanent pull through sigma bonds, resonance is pi electron dancing, hyperconjugation is sigma-pi interaction. Books say resonance is strongest... but in my life, hyperconjugation feels stronger. When my elder son's engineering fees loom, that constant, quiet support from my wife’s extra stitching work—it’s not a dramatic help, but it’s always there, like hyperconjugation stabilising a carbocation more surely than a temporary resonance.
