Custom fields : new fields in model or add properties?

Question

Hi,
I need to add a custom information (the brand of the product) in the product model (product.template).
I can see there are 2 options :
Create a custom fields in Settings -> Technical -> Models (or Fields) Add a property in the product.template form (⚙ -> Add Properties)  But what is the difference of both options and the possible impact to take into consideration ?
Thank you

Can you elaborate on an impact on API for both options? Thanks.

Hi,
In Odoo, creating custom fields in Settings are stored in the
database may have a slight performance impact, especially with a large
number of fields and require technical knowledge and access to the
settings. While in Add a property, fields are simpler to add and do not
impact performance as they are not stored as separate entities in the
database.
Hope it helps
