While deep ensembles are among the most reliable uncertainty quantification strategies, their computational cost often drives practitioners toward other approaches. This study explores different sources of model diversity to assess the trade-off between training efficiency and reliability.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    cross-validation ensemble (CVE) served as the baseline, compared against two alternative strategies: Checkpoint ensemble (CPE), a training-efficient approach leveraging temporal diversity from a single training run, and data diversity ensemble (DDE), which enforces strong data diversity through clustering-based subgroup partitioning rather than random data splits. Evaluations were conducted on three 3D tumor segmentation tasks: lung CT (NSCLC), brain MRI (BraTS) and prostate MRI (LUND-PROBE).\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    CPE achieves segmentation performance comparable to CVE, with marginal Dice differences (\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>\n                        \n                      <\/jats:tex-math>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:mrow>\n                          <mml:mo>\u2212<\/mml:mo>\n                        <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    1.20% on NSCLC,\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:tex-math>\n                        \n                      <\/jats:tex-math>\n                      <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" overflow=\"scroll\">\n                        <mml:mrow>\n                          <mml:mo>\u2212<\/mml:mo>\n                        <\/mml:mrow>\n                      <\/mml:math>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    0.27% on BraTS, and +0.05% on LUND-PROBE), while requiring only a single training run.
