That depends on what kind of game you want to create.

Yep. Totally true. A Terrain Map is better for landscapes and a part map is better for a railing game, for example.

Part maps are better for performance reasons, and also terrain maps are bouncy?

The map type is less a question of which is better, but which better suits the aesthetic you’re attempting to achieve; low poly assets would better suit a part map, whereas terrain would suit mid-high poly assets. Both have their advantages and disadvantages; but ultimately it’s based on the aesthetic.

Terrain maps are more performant for more complex geometry.
