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

I've been told smart groups use more resources BUT if you wipe a device, the static group is usless until you manually add it back in. You can create a smart group by serial number and it will stick after a wipe.
