If you have good access to edibles they are a great way to dose. You know about how much you are using every time so you can track tolerance and if you don't smoke with the edibles than you are saving money.
The only reason I don't use edibles is that I like the quick onset of effects you get from smoking and because buying edibles from a recreational dispensary gets expensive when you need large doses. I do occasionally make some edibles which is actually pretty cheap, but not knowing how much each contains always bothers me as I like being exact so it's rare.
Overall though I find the most enjoyable way to use cannabis is to smoke it. It's instant, I can get exactly where I want to be, and it tastes great. I would only make edibles now if I had a lot of material I didn't want so smoke, like bad weed, oil, or distillate.
