    I don't exactly know what you mean. Are you talking about dynamic and static URL's?

    If you're talking about pages with static content or dynamic content (result of a program on server side).
    IMO is a LOT BETTER with dynamic content when your site has many pages, because is much faster to change, more flexible, you save a lot of hosting disk space, etc.

    Static pages take up less Server Resources

    It depends on what your content actually is.

    If your site is simple, where the content stays the same, and you don't want to do customisation per user or anything like that, then static pages are perfectly acceptable. In fact, its better.

    Most sites nowadays though offer a multitude of features and ever changing content, so in that case dynamic is required.
