Static Routing vs Firewall based

Hi
is there a general difference in using static routes configuration vs configuring routes using FW rules and pointing them to the right gateway?
I did some tests and both works, I see more flexibility in using FW rules. Would like to ask if there is a general case when static routes should be used?
thx

Do you mean the routing based on a routing table vs PBR (Policy Based Routing)? Note that there are dynamic routing protocols which use routing tables. Anyway, there is always a routing table and I think using PBR should be avoided. PBR is like using "GOTO" in the old days of computer programming.
