Does the form factor between 3.5 and 2.5 matter in a NAS server? - SLRPNK

Been finding some good deals on 2.5 disks lately, but have never bought one before. Have a couple of 3.5 disks on the other hand in my Unraid server. Wondering how much it matters wether I get a 2.5 or not? What form factor do you prefer/usually go for?

2.5" disks are SMR, you don’t want that in a raid.
