TheBrain vs Evernote vs Personal Wiki

When that is my goal I use TheBrain. TheBrain excels at emergent structure—a topic worth exploring as you prepare your approach to this.

A personal wiki might eventually surpass TheBrain’s usefulness for you. BUT with a personal wiki you are going to end up doing a lot of fiddling around the edges to get the wiki up and running the way you want, so that you might spend as much or more time taking care of the infrastructure as working on your core tasks of building connections and insights.

Evernote I would never use for this purpose. It’s a bunch of buckets with no visual connection between the notes. Search in Evernote sucks. Not the right tool, in my opinion.
