App Image vs. Software Center

Newer to Linux and I am curious about what the pros and cons of installing apps with app images vs downloading them from the software center in Linux Mint. The note taking app Obsidian is what really led me to asking this question. When I found out about that program and wanted to try it I used some help I got from the internet to install it and they recommended using the app image. I went that route and it works great but I eventually saw it in the software center and thought to myself, "well that would have been easier." 😂 I'm just curious if there's any pros or cons to one or the other (besides disk space I assume) so I can decide which type I would like to install with programs moving forward. Thanks!
