Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.
Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn’t form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.
Just get the lead free solder and no clean flux, it’s much less cancer

Lead free sucks ass and you can pry my leaded solder from my cold dead hands.
Seriously just wash your hands.

Fumes don’t contain lead, it’s not nearly hot enough. Those fumes are flux burning.
