Which haplogroup predictor is the most accurate in your opinion?

Fair point. Your J2a1 isn't necessarily from Chechnya

funny that I am Z16242 but negative for L1019 and Z2162. I may end here or be a new subclade of it, only BigY will tell.

J-M67 peaks in Chechen (over 55%) and Ingush (over 80%) so somewhere around there probably

Yh with origin it is from the Caucasus or the Transcaucasia area but J2a did migrate south into areas like the Levant where iirc J-M67 can be found. In your case I would say it is probably native Anatolian or native in the Zagros/Iran area but with origin from the Caucasus/Transcaucasia

Ahhh. So it's not like the first two where I can use my autosomal results? I need to buy a Y DNA test.

yes

Y37 Y67 and such, at FTDNA or Yseq

No problem, I just found out that there is a way to use Promethease to get a prediction.

It's looking like I'm a J2 which makes complete sense, heh.

So Morley predictions based on the MH data are more or less reliable? I'd like to have my brother-in-law tested one day (they don't mind, but don't wanna waste money, lol) but FTDNA Y-DNA tests are pretty expensive, whereas a MyHeritage kit costs only $84 including shipping costs.

Iirc Ftdna are offering coupons which can reduce the price of the Ydna tests. The coupon for Y37 is YSEARCH37 and it has a reduction of 50 dollars but im not sure if they are still working

Well 3 tests so far have all indicated J2a1. My friend who took a 23andme test had the exact same result from Morley as they did in 23andme so it's worth trying.
