The late task is my personal favorite as it quickly shows where the progress is slow. When you use a highlight filter the tasks which meet the criteria will be highlighted.
The commonly used highlight filters are Late Tasks, Milestones, Critical Tasks etc. Like Filters and Groups, MS Project has a few in-built highlight filters. The highlight feature allows you to highlight resources/tasks which meet certain criteria. So, even if a task is 0.01 % behind, the task will be highlighted as late. The highlight features are very unforgiving. You can find the option to highlight under the View tab.
This option is the easiest and most convenient.
