Continuous lights and strobe lights are two different styles of lighting and what one is better often comes down to the subject matter, the intended vibe from the shoot, and personal preferences of the photographer. A strobe light will give you a more powerful light source compared to a continuous light source and are great for creating moody lighting. Continuous lights are better for capturing a subject in nice even light or when shooting video. Strobes can also freeze action thanks to their very short durations.
