It's recommended to use Visual Web Parts over traditional web part for the following reasons:

• No need to code everything from scratch, Simply drag and drop items from the Toolbox onto your custom controls to create a Web Part UI.
• You also get the code-behind file where you implement the UI logic.
• Technically, the SharePoint Visual Web Part is a web user control that is hosted inside a standard Web Part.
