Depends on what you are adding to and where in the scene tree you want it to be. add_sibling is a shorthand for get_parent().add_child, so it’s not much different. Main take away should be that the new node will not use the current node’s transform, if your current node moves and you don’t want the new node to move, then add_sibling or adding it elsewhere like get_tree().current_scene.add_child would be better.
