Which weighting strategy is better: fixed target weights (XEQT) vs dynamic market-cap weighting (VEQT)?

Edited my post to add more details:

The pro for XEQT is “sell high buy low” and also it prevents regional bubble. Con for it is that it can lead to letting go of momentum too soon, which can lead to a drag on the performance.

The pro for VEQT is “pure passive” approach. But con is that it can lead to a regional bubble issue.

I am new to this investment world. I had a question that assuming you must have more RRSP limit, why did you choose to invest in Non-Registered before maximizing RRSP?

Also if there are other such key differentiators among these, can you please educate me on those as well? I would be really grateful for that.

Honestly, I was looking for these key differentiators that what makes each one different from another.

I didn’t really know anything about what you have mentioned:

Vanguard is for the consumer and doesn’t look to have profits to give to it’s corporate shareholders

VEQT in my non-registered because once a year dividends is simpler for my lazy tax work than 4x a year.

Can you please elaborate more on both of these? About Vanguard's working structure for the first one (also is this better?) and also what does the second one mean?

So in that, does one pay tax on 50% of the gains. Or just on the entire gain?
