Dumbbells or Barbell Bench

Which is the superior chest exercise dumbbell bench or barbell bench? When I started lifting, all I had were dumbbells, so that’s what I used. Since joining a gym, I’ve continued to use dumbbells for my bench presses, flat and incline. Decline inside the bar because it’s right there. I prefer the dumbbells, but is the barbell bench a better method for building muscle? Or does it not even matter?

I know there are recent studies on the positive affects on the brain and cognition but I’d be interested to know if that would also apply to the heart in anyway. Thank you :)
