static memory allocation versus dynamic memory allocation

In C programming, I want to know in what situations we should use
static memory allocation instead of dynamic memory allocation. My
understanding is that static memory allocation like using array is
faster than malloc, but dynamic memory allocation is more flexible.

Please comment... thanks.
