bridge vs relay preferences for the tor network

I never gave the distinction bridge vs relay much consideration until I came accross this execllent blog. I was operating relay over many years which eventually became carrying guard traffic mailnly:

the container used was wollomatic/torrelay - Docker Image which is no longer maintained (but I must thank wollomatic for doing so for many years). So I decdide to give obfs4-bridge a try now realizing there is a distinction.

What would the consensus be? where is more demand? for a (gateway) relay or a (anonymous) bridge?

Should I invest some time in updating the tor version on the relay and take it online again?
