I recommend you to use static URL because it would assist you to rank your website in the Google while dynamic URL is not SEO friendly.

A dynamic URL is a page address that results from the search of a database-driven web site or the URL of a web site that runs a script and the static URLs, is in which the contents of the web page stay the same unless the changes are hard-coded into the HTML.

Static URLs are indexed faster and ranked higher in SERPs.
It is wiser to optimize Static URLs (for long term SEO benefits).
It is easier to insert relevant keywords in Static URLs rather than in Dynamic URLs.
It is easier for the end user to understand a static URL, thereby the chances of clicking the link increases manifolds.

Static URL's means a url, which is good for the ranking in search engine. Static URL has a keyword in them and on the other hand dynamic URL not contain any type of keywords.

i wouldn't worry about using dynamic urls if they make sense.  if you have shopping site, you'll likely need dynamic urls.  and from everything i've read, the search engines are able to parse them now and won't penalize you as they may have in the past.  if you can use static, it will still look better to people so i would if i could, but i don't think it's enough to worry about trying to find intricate work arounds.

A static URL is one that doesn't change, and is typically used for websites with fixed content that doesn't need to be updated frequently. It's like a physical address - once it's set, it's set for good. For example, a static URL might look like this: www.example.com/about.html. Static URLs are great for search engine optimization (SEO) because they're easy for crawlers to index and remember.

On the other hand, a dynamic URL is one that changes based on user input or other factors. It's like a GPS navigation system - it gives you turn-by-turn directions based on your current location. Dynamic URLs often contain parameters or query strings that are used to retrieve specific data from a database. For example, a dynamic URL might look like this: www.example.com/products.php?category=electronics&brand=apple. Dynamic URLs are useful for websites with constantly changing content, like e-commerce sites or news outlets.

Now, as for which one is better, it really depends on the specific needs of your website. If you have a simple website with fixed content, static URLs are the way to go. But if you have a complex website with constantly changing content, dynamic URLs are the better choice. However, keep in mind that dynamic URLs can be a nightmare for SEO, since they can create duplicate content issues and make it harder for crawlers to index your site.
