Use App Bundle if you are uploading your apk to the playstore.

1. Size:

People have managed to reduce almost 50% of the app size even after the heavy optimization. You don't have to suffer the app quality also while doing so. Plus, google has now started to give you a warning if you don't upload the app bundle and use the apk instead.

2. Dynamic Functionality

App Bundle is actually a bundle that consists a set of your APKs. Read more here
