Thoughts on coated vs non coated strings?

Been trying 2 of my guitars either both. One with and one without. I find coated is smoother and plays more like butter. Better bends and sliding up and down. Just makes the playing nicer. Downside is tiny bit more slippery.

Normal I find easier to grip but doesn’t feel as nice.

If I played mostly chords or picking no bends etc I’d go regular. Any thoughts
