What do u guys like to use more for weightlifting? Barbell with freeweights or smith machine? or both?

i use the barbell for most of my workouts requiring a barbell. but i use the smith machine for squats because it helps me keep really good form and my back feels great as opposed to when i used to do them with the regular barbell. sometimes ill use the smith machine for behind the back shrugs and shoulderpresses too
