No. There is no final answer because of the variations in boats and
installations. I have had very good luck just grounding to a thru-hull and
nothing else. Other boats have had less than satisfactory result with
the same technique (or at least won't admit it . Start out simple and
just connect the ground using foil to a thru-hull. If that doesn't work well
then start connecting more thru-hulls, the engine, the keel, etc. If that
doesn't work well enough then start stringing out foil in the bilge, etc.

I've read all sorts of conflicting advice on this matter.

Is there a latest/final answer for an SSB equipped vessel ?

Appreciatively,
