Hi there are many thousands of THT switches and SMT switches. "THT" or "SMT" is no qualitative specification at all.
From cheap to expensive, different sizes, with different electrical specifications, different mechanical specifications, different environmental specifications, contact material....

Without useful specifications no one can give you useful assistance.

To me your questions sounds like: What car to buy? I have good experience with a yellow one, and bad experience with a red one. Which one should I buy next?

If you choose SMD than you can use inner and opposite side of PCB of switch.
