I would like help deciding how to report my results.

I am looking at whether different demonstrations affect performance in a forced-choice binary task. Demonstrations were done either by a puppet or live (social conditions) or by the participant (individual condition). I used a GLMM in lme4lme4 in R with a fixed effect of demonstration type, which was structured as a Helmert contrast: levels were puppet demo, live demo, and own demo.

The output of the GLMM indicated that there was a main effect of demonstration, with a difference between the puppet and live demos (but not between those two and the own demo).

To report this result most clearly & accurately, should I use the model output from lme4lme4 and lmerTestlmerTest (b, SE, Z, p)? Or should I explicitly run post hoc tests in e.g. multcompmultcomp or emmeansemmeans, and report the results of those? The comparisons of interest (puppet vs. live and puppet-live vs. own) seem to me to have already been made in the GLMM, in which case that should be sufficient. Is there some reason to do post hocs? Finally, is there an issue with multiple comparisons when doing GLMMs with Helmert contrasts?

Reporting results of a GLMM with Helmert contrast in fixed effects
