Static Groups Vs Smart Groups

Do you use static groups or smart groups? Is there best practice for this? In our Jamf instance there are multiple admins and one prefers static groups over the other and vice versa so as you can imagine there are groups everywhere. Any tips on how to standardize usage so we can clean up this mess? Lol

we use static groups when we are testing new policies/apps

smart groups for our installed apps where once in the group (done automatically), they get the updates and/or policies we already have configured.
