- BFS explores neighbors before going deep.
- BFS is best suited for problems that deal with 'layers' or 'levels'.
- Recursive implementation is generally easier with DFS.
- DFS is good for early termination upon finding the target.
- Dijkstra's algorithm is useful for finding the quickest way.
- DFS is useful for exploring all possible paths, such as combinations and permutations.
