If you're looking for Power BI learning resources, and you haven't come across Radacad blog yet, you should definitely look into it!

From Radacad.com/blog:

Every Connection type has some advantages and disadvantages.
One connection type is suitable for smaller datasets, one for big, one connection type is useful for better flexibility, the other for not needing the scheduled refresh, etc.
Choosing the connection type is one of the decisions that should be made at the beginning. Otherwise, you might end up with a lot of re-work.
