Grammar
'have got' modal
Somebody has got to pay ./There has got to be a better way. /You've got to be kidding me.
Somebody must pay./ There must be a better way./ You must be kidding me.
Hello, is there any certain condition to opt for 'has/have got' instead of 'must' or more specifically is there any condition in which only 'have/has got' is held gramatically proper? thanks in advance

And as you read that thread, note that "have got to" is an idiom and substitute for "have to".
"had got to" is not used to the extent that "had to" is. I recommend using "have got to" only in the present tense.
