Exercise: Good
Exercises you can add weight to conveniently: Better
Every exercise can be progressed or regressed with some level of ingenuity so you can meet yourself where you need to utilize it. The people who pit exercises against each other by slapping a "functional" label on them simply don't understand exercise's benefits and/or have very little experience in modifying exercises themselves to fit individuals.
